Does anyone know.......

Does anyone know the actual difference (other than the bent shaft and different knob) mechanically between the C5 and C6 shifters? Why is the C6 shifter 'better'? Why does it shift 'better'?

Just Bought Tires

I just replaced my Goodyears with BF Goodrich all season performance tires from Tire Rack which I love. Go onto Tire Rack and read about the different tires for your corvette before you buy. They...

You need to baseline the car

I bought used 4 years ago, a '99 Black FRC, raced some, some body damaged but fixed properly. 15,000 miles. In my garage, I changed oil, rebuilt the calipers, flushed the brakes, new pads, new wires,...

Front Fender Flaring out

As Yo-El stated, fender is broken/cracked underneath the car. Most likely caused by the last person/shop who put your car on a lift. You have to be careful not to get the fender bottoms between the...

Need to Heed, Paper Blockers in earlier transmissions

AMSoil Synthetic ATF and RP DON'T harm the paper blockers in earlier 6 speeds. Three years on AMSoil ATF, shifts smooth always, no problems.

Chinese Manufactured?

I wonder if YT sends out their manufacturing to China or other countries in which they'd have a hard time controlling metal quality.

If it's a 6 Speed, make sure you depress the clutch pedal far enough

As silly as it seems, if you don't push the clutch pedal far enough when starting, the car won't turn over and it seems like it's dead. Then you release the clutch pedal and try again and it starts....

What do you expect, it's a government program

Looking at that video, it just doesn't surprise me that great cars get destroyed. After all it's a government program and they can't do anything right. Don't believe that people are trading tons of...

For next time

Don't lose any sleep, but did you use anti seize on the spark plug threads? If not, go back and pull those babies and grease them up right away, a thin coat. You'll thank yourself when going in again...

No such thing as a cheap C5

Buyer beware. You get what you pay for. A fool and his money are soon departed. If it sounds like too good a deal, it isn't a good deal and so on. You have to know what you are buying, you have to...
