Does anyone know an Honest/Cpmpetent mechanic in the greater Detroit, MI area, that works on 1996 Vette? Thanks for any help.

When I drove the Vette, I didn't hear any "clunk" when I shifted from reverse to first or vise versa. I also didn't feel or hear any noise coming from the half shafts or drive shaft when I manually rotated the tires. If it is the U-joint(s), they will be replaced when I remove the differential...

up-date Sorry to take so long in up dating this problem. I replaced the "new" brg. ass'm with a "SKF" premium(?) ass'm. and it still made noise when I drove the car. I jacked up the car and rotated the rear end using the tires. I definitely felt and heard noise near the right side of the...

Thanks for the replies. The noise is definitely coming from the bearing and not from the U-joints or drive shaft. When I drove the car it didn't make any "clunking" noise when I shifted into reverse or first gear, that would indicate to me a bad U-joint. When I rotated the wheel by hand I...

I took the Vette for a quick ride. The noise is still there. I guess it didn't heal itself over the past few weeks. The noise is louder under acceleration than at steady speed or deceleration . I jacked up the car and looked at both sides while running. Didn't appear to be any...

Thanks for the reply. I put the washer and brg. asm. in late yesterday afternoon before the snow was schedule to start. Unfortunately, I think that I might have done some other damage to the drive train. It made quite a bit of noise when I drove it last night. I don't know when I'll be able to...

Well I have the washer in my hand as I type. I would have thought that it was a lot thicker than it is. If I had to guess, I'd say the flange thickness is about .030 with the center piece being another .030 above the flange face. I wish the manual showed a better pic as to how it goes on. I'm...

Well I just got back from the Chevy dealer. I ordered the part (P/N 14076924) at the cost of $7.60 ea.. They said that it would be shipped out of Memphis and I should have them by Fri.. I would have replied sooner but I had to dig out of approx. 10 inches of snow this morning. God, how I hate...

Thanks for the info, it's greatly appreciated. I'll be sure to take a copy of this with me to the dealer in the AM. I see that you have a '96 also, so I'm assuming that this is the correct P/N. It makes me wish that I had bought a shop manual a lot sooner. It makes me wonder whether the Chevy...

I should find out by late Mon. AM. Hopefully they'll have a better pic than what's in the manual. Thanks for everyone's inquires and your replies, MiMitch

In my previous reply I stated that there were (2) washer configurations. After looking closer to the (2) views, I believe that there is only (1) washer. The second view appears to show a cut-away section through the washer for clarity. If anyone has any specific knowledge as to what it really...

I wasn't able to get to the dealership on Fri.. I'll be going there Mon. AM and plan on bringing the shop manual. I noticed that it shows (2) different configurations for the washer. I'll let you know which one I ordered and the price/delivery from the dealer. Thanks for your reply,MiMitch

There wasn't a washer there when I went to replace it today. I'm positive that it wasn't there when I replaced it previously. So, I'm sure that it wasn't replaced when the dealer did both brg's. The other side still has the orig. brg. that the dealer replaced and I haven't had any problems with...

I'm replacing my rear wheel brg.,again, on my '96. I finally got a shop manual and it shows a "wheel spindle washer" between the rr. brg.hub asm. and the rr. spindle. Does this act as a "thrust washer" between the brg. hub asm. and the spindle? I had the car serviced at a Chevy dealer and they...

Sorry that I haven't been on-line for awhile. I had to work last Thur. and Fri.. On Wed. evening I was checking some wires under the dash witha 12V. circuit tester and ended up frying a wire coming out of the steering column. Boy, did that sucker go up quick. From the time I touched it, until it...

I've been trying to fix the problem without much luck. Item #2 on the list is what I'm trying to do. The description of the wires and where they come from are different from what I'm seeing under the dash. I'm not very comfortable working on elec. problems, so I'm very hesitant to start...

Re-installed clutch safety switch.Alarm/horn relay is clicking (?) and won't shut off. New problem or did I not do something correct when I re-connected the battery? Was looking at #2 on "Ck. list". The only purple and yellow wires that I see are on a different connector than the clutch safety...

I hooked up the remote starter and the starter turns over at normal speed. I removed the plug from the clutch safety switch and un-screwed the switch from the brkt..I connected the meter to the switch. With the button fully extended, as if depressing the clutch, I had a 1.0 reading. With the...

I won't be able to work on the car until later today or tomorrow morning. Thanks agin for all your replys. Have a safe and enjoyable 4th. and enjoy all the freedoms that we have. Thanks. Mitch

Is the purple wire in the diagram the same wire that is above the main pos. post on the starter solenoid under the car? Can I connect the remote starter to this small post and the pos. cale at the battery and try to turn over the engine? I'll have to get a 12v test lightand some miniture...
