anyone ever remove one?
tips?

 

Is the same as the flux capacitor.

 

do you have Micheal J fox's phone number?

 

you will need to disconnect vacuum hoses and plug, unplug wiring harness. and install a single length speedometer cable for a vette without cruise control. remove vacuum module that connects to throttle. i got a new speedometer cable at orielly auto for about $13

 

the ducers looks like it is there tight and wonder what has to come off before it can be removed?

 

Not really that bad, has anyone ever taken one apart to clean or repair?

 

Mine had a couple of rivets holding the bracket to the inner fender well. Look there first then drill them out and the bracket will be loose. The worst part is routing the new cable and connecting.

 

Do you want functional cruise control? Rebuilt units are available.

 

I removed the cruise control on my 79 because I didn't like how my vehicle speed varied while using it. The only part you need is a speedometer cable for a non-cruise control vehicle. (connects at transmission and speedometer).

 

yes I want to fix the CC.
seems the hold circuit is fubar.
thanks for the speedo cable info, I would like to drive the car with the CC out. The computer needs Vehicle speed info supplied by speedo.

rivets? good info.

I have looked at the ducer and just can't seem to get a handle on
how it comes out. the power booster and master cylinder and lines
cover it.
the window washer covers the bottom.

tired of having to remove 3 things to get to the one thing.
corvette style

just wondering if some have done it before.

 

On my 82, I had to go through the fender vent and I think I just loosened the emissions canister to access the transducer bolts but it wasn't hard. It's a good time to lube the speedo cables

 

I am thinking that is what I will do.
that vent keeps looking smaller and smaller.

 

I just went through this repair and posted my directions at the below `speed control issue' forum string.

The only thing I would add is that I bought a Cardone reman unit for $87 on eBay and they gave me $11 for the core. Frankly, I spent over $6 on return shipping and perhaps should have kept it because its a little piece of engineering marvel when you peek inside.
I skinned up my knuckles pretty good because I covered the windshield washer reservoir nut (sharp) after it was too late. Be patient, you're working in tight quarters. The pivoting socket adapter ($6 at Lowes) on the bolt and well placed wrench on the nut saved the day. Before trying to pull the unit out - and after making sure you've marked the location of every hose with masking tape/permanent marker - first remove the screws that hold the resume solenoid if it has one (`81-`82 only, I believe) or it won't come out. Then lube your upper and lower speedo cables - mine were nearly dry after nearly 32 years. Lubed them heavy with lithium like I saw on a YouTube video and fed them back in while twisting the cable, so you're killing two birds with one stone. Also, I peeled back the rubber boot to the servo that is next to the transducer and, pushed the long red silicone lubricating spray tube (similar to WD-40) into the servo mechanism and gave it a good dose of silicone spray. Since it had probably not functioned in 20 years I thought it wise. I also used dielectric grease on the transducer connections because, frankly, I'll be glad if I don't have to do this again for its next 32 years. Finally, while it was out I gave the transducer a clear coat of Rustoleum since it already looked new, and steel-wooled and sprayed the bolts and `resume' solenoid that is bolted to it a Rustoleum `chrome' (looks more like a dull aluminum in reality) so it looks pretty nice. Like the rest of the best looking car ever designed in history. And, I proudly work for Ford Motor Company who make some extremely worthy vehicles, but that C3 Vette design is simply just drop-dead gorgeous. Hope my above info link helped someone save some money and gain some satisfaction like I did. Dave
