Re: Does you auto trans Vette crouch? (Tom73)
When you put it in gear with an automatic or engage the clutch on a standard the pinion gear in the differential starts to climb the ring gear. Since the car has independent rear suspension (flexible in the center) it pulls the differential down. Thus the squat.

It's a really cool feature for impressing passangers. :lol:
The first time I took a friend of mine for a ride in it I came to a stop and punched it. When the rear sank and front came up a bit he thought I had just pulled the front wheels. :eek: :D

The real worry is when you put it in drive or reverse and nothing happens :eek:
I have devloped a small leak of transmission fluid around the odometer linkage on the transmission, it only leaks while running and not very much. I have had the fluid go low on me the first time and nothing happened when I put it in reverse and then when I put it in drive.. That was not a very good feeling.
