Getting ready to change tranny fluid and differential. What is the capacity for the differential? 1996 I'm planning to use Red Line 75W90 and need to know how many bottles to get? Thanks! Chetzki

I have a torch red 1996 and a piece about 4"x4" is broken out of the rocker panel. I already have a GM replacement rocker panel and was thinking of removing the one I have, taking both to a reputable body shop and asking them to paint the new one to match. What do I need to ask/look for...

Well, I'm thinking about selling the Vette. Red Coupe, LT4, 54K, two tops and a cover. Stock except K&N air filter and TB bypass. Runs like a dream, very fast. Rear tires are new, fronts have a lot of miles left on them. The interior is almost perfect, I've corrected cosmetic things. The...

How do I get my shifter knob off on a '96 manual stick? I've tried to unscrew as hard as I dare and it won't budge. Don't see any hints under the plastic cap on top. Want to lube the linkage from above but can't get to it. Thanks, Chetzki

What are the blue and yellow plastic filter looking bodies under my driver side fuel rail cover? One appears to be a check valve because I can only blow through it in one direction (toward the air intake manifold). What is the recommended replacement interval for these? I'm doing a bunch of...

I'm pumped. I friend and I jordered tickets yesterday for the Grand Prix of Houston event which includes the ALMS race on Friday night May 12th. I can't make it until Friday afternoon and I bought passes for the "Chevy SS" corral for Friday and Saturday. I've never been to a race or a...

The link is broken at the moment, but I'm thinking about doing this on March 25-26. www.texasmile.com :lou The max speed is taken the last 132ft of the mile. Can we get up to max in one mile? I don't have a feel for it. The vettes last year weren't getting out of the upper 150's lower...

not sure why multiple posts were happening....but I was trying to ask how to replace my ash tray cover on a '96. The coating peeled off the old one. I see the one bolt that holds the panel around the shifter down and I know there are tabs on the front of the panel that lock it in, but...

I noticed after having my car inspected that my steering wheel jiggles slightly back and forth now like maybe it got loose by someone using the wheel as leverage to get out of the car :mad . It's not bad, it just drives me crazy. Is there an easy way to tighten that up? They also knocked off...

I have this friend who took his LT4 up to 155mph :D last week on a wide, good, flat, straight stretch of road with no one around last week. It was still climbing in 5th gear when he had to shut it down. In fact, near the end the mph was still jumping on the gauge by 2-3 mph. Last he glanced...

I have 3 vehicles and two drivers to evacuate from Lake Jackson (15 miles from the beach south of Houston). I had to decide between taking the truck or the LT4 coupe. My car is in my garage on jack stands and I think that was the right thing to do. We left at 3:30PM Wednesday and got to my...

I checked my manual transmission and differential housing oil levels, but is there another fluid level to check in the transmission? My Hayne's manual prompts me to check the "overdrive unit fluid level" by removing a square-head plug on the left side of the overdrive unit. I can't find this...

I'm looking at slipcovers to protect my seats. I think black with red highlights/detailing would look good and I would spend up to $100. I see the covers in the catalogs but I'm wondering what people think about their's? I want something durable with a tight fit. Some of them look "baggy" in...

I read the posts I could find on this subject, but looking for more help. Any more tips on removing the fuel filter? I can break the fitting on the inlet side, but can not for the life of me loosen the fitting on top. Not enough room to get leverage. Is there a special wrench? Even so, how...

My headers have extra bolt holes on the engine block on both front and rear of each manifold. Anyone else have this? I bought this car over 2 years ago and haven't noticed anything that was not stock. The manifolds are rusty but the rest of the exhaust system has always looked good as new and I...

Wanted to share the joy - I payed off my loan early last month and then went to visit family out of state. Hooray for overtime in 2004. When I came back, I had the title for the lien release and yesterday I finally got to drive it for the first time since I paid it off and it really did feel...

This is on a '96. When I fill the lower reservoir to the proper Cold level and park it on a slight incline nose down after the engine has been hot, it leaks about 1/2 to a full gallon of coolant out of the reservoir. It fills it up and then overflows after the engine is turned off. Anyone...

This '96 LT4 had a little steering wheel shake since I got it that was worse on certain roads and it pulled to the right. I had it aligned and rotated the tires on the front and it stopped pulling and the shake was almost gone. Just put new tires on the back because they were worn and I was...

Everytime I shut the doors after washing the car, the water splashes down the side and I have to get my chamois out again. Has anyone drilled a hole in the mirror housing to drain water? I had my drill in hand and realized the motor and wires are back there somewhere and I wondered if it would...

I've drained my radiator and reservoirs (at least most of the upper reservoir), but how do I get all my coolant out of the engine and the rest of the lines? I only drained out less than 2 gallons and I see my thermostat housing is still full to the brim. Do I have to fill with water, let it...
