My 2012 has 4400 miles only, but I want to flush the hydraulic clutch system - not merely change the fluid in the master cylinder. I was able to do this with my C5, but those of you who have done it know it isn't the easiest thing to do. Removal of +30 bolts from the torque pan, dropping the...

Has anyone recently purchased a vent for the rear hatch. For some reason, the ones for the Coupe are almost impossible to find. They are readily available for the ZO6 and convertible, but not the Coupe. I have checked with most of the popular jobbers, ie. Mid-America, Ecklers and West Coast...

I feel silly asking, but what is the easiest way to uplug the footwell lights on a 2012 C6? I am going to plug in the LED lights. I just had a hip replacement about 4 weeks ago and I can't lay on my back with my head in the footwell. I was trying to disconnect the lights by feel. My LED's...

I purchased fixed headlight system w/projector bulbs. Reading the item description, supposedly the installation is "easy". The instructions with the kit make no mention how to remove the old flip-ups and buckets. Looking at it, I'll probably figure it out on my own. I was wondering if anyone...

I was looking online to purchase a shop manual. I ran across a website that will sell one on a CD as a PDF file. The price seemed too good to be true. The service manual covered all years of the C5. I was wondering if anyone has purchased one from this vendor. If so, is it an actual...

I have had several responses to previous post regarding sticking clutch pedal. This is certainly a common issue with C5's. I previously changed the fluid and clutch was o.k. for awhile. Then, it started sticking again. I felt down around the master cylinder and there didn't appear to be any...

Adjusting the passenger side temp. control knob does not show any change on the display. I have followed troubleshooting items referenced in other posts. First, there are no HVAC codes. Pulled fuse 27 and replaced after a few minutes w/o any success. When turning the passenger side knob from...

Awhile back, I had an issue with the clutch pedal sticking. I replaced the fluid, cleaned the master cylinder and flushed new fluid thru the system 4/5 times and the problem seemed to disappear. However, it has happened again and seems to be triggered by cold weather (25 degrees or lower). I...

I backed my Vette out of the garage today with no problem. When I pushed in the clutch to shift into 1st, the clutch went almost to the floor and then hung up. I can lift the pedal with my foot and it "pops" all the way out. However, there is free play when pushing in the pedal until it gets...

Can anyone point me to a good article describing mounting of a detector and wiring it into the power source at the rear view mirror? I live on the NC/Va border and drive in Va. a good deal of the time. Good ole Va. is the only state where detectors are still illegal. Not wanting to remove my...

When I try to lock the doors, the passenger door does not lock. It looks/sounds like the actuator tries to work, but the door does not lock. It will not lock with the key either. Before I take the door panel off and troubleshoot, was hoping someone has experienced similar problem and can...

I had trouble for a couple of months with my Vette idling rough once it started to warm up. Let it cool back down, no problem until it got warm again. Seems I have seen quite a few posts with others experiencing same problem. It ran o.k. on the road, just idled terrible after warming up. After...

I am going to check to see if I am having problems with my EGR valve. While looking at another post awhile back, there was a good link for removing the plenum, but I didn't bookmark it - was just reading it casually. I have to tried to find that thread/link for the past couple of days w/o sucess...

A couple of months ago, the car started idling rough ('90 Coupe, 32,000 miles). At start-up, idles fine. Soon as it starts to get up to operating temp, rough idling - the car "lopes" with foot on the brake in "D". Getting up to speed an on the highway, it runs great. I took it to a local shop...

Recently, the car started idling roughly ('90 Coupe - 32,000 miles). When first started and idling in "Park", idles smoothly. After reaching operating temp, idles very rough in "D" - the RPM's vary +/- 50-100 RPM. Rough idling doesn't seem to be caused by a miss and the car runs great...

Went to use my A/C for the first time last week ('90 Coupe). Nothing happened - I first checked fuses and they were o.k. Then I remembered seeing the indicator light above the climate control "Auto" selector button flashing at the end of last season which may indicate low gas. Driving the car...

I had a water pump on my '90 that was making sounds like it was going bad. Since it sits in the garage for most of the winter, I thought this a good time to do the nasty job. I used an article from Corvette Fever as a guide. Their picture tutorial was great - until I started to tear into mine...

I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to replace the water pump ('90 coupe) soon - there is some tell-tale rattling which appears to be coming from the pump itself and a slight loss of coolant over time. There is no reason to suspect cracked head gasket or other leaks as I never see any signs of...

What began as an intermitten problem has now developed into a constant problem (as expected). The issue is with the parking lights on my '90 coupe. When I turn on the parking lights, the headlight doors pop open (thankfully, the headlights themselves do not come on). Hopefully someone has had...

I have a new fuel pump (AC Delco) for '84 Vette. The fuel pump also fits other GM vehicles. I ordered a pump for my '90 from gmpartsdirect and they sent me the pump for an '84 and they don't take back electrical parts. I first realized the problem when I checked the pump and it only put out...
