6spd jumping up, shift **** dancing etc...
where in the world are the mounts on this zf6? my transmission comes up a good 3" at WOT in 1st. nothing LOOKS loose but i have been fooled before. {header collector gasket rattled loose and fell out on a trip to a club when it LOOKED fine} anyway i'm sure it can't be good on anything for my transmission to be jumping up everytime i gas it. where is the most common cause for this? i'm about to start tearing things apart....

You have a bad mount somewhere. Or maybe you should check your bolts in the C beam. They might be loose also.

90% your problem is loose bolts at the rear of the tranny holding it to the C-beam thing. You have to drop the exhaust to tighten them and it is generally a bitch. I would recommend you tighten the crap out of them. After having dealers do this three times on my car in 3 years, I did myself once three years ago and it hasn't loosened yet.

When you tighten them, Make sure to get a wrench on the nut up top. It's tight up there, but can be done. The fronts are 18mm, the rear is 21mm.

i'll tear into it in the next day or so when i replace the halfshaft i tore to pieces. i broke a mid america u joint into 2 pieces awhile back, chewed the heck out of the half shaft & wound up taking a spare ujoint & welding into the halfshaft for a get me by till my new/used halfshaft showed up at the door. i swear a lot of parts break when you drive your corvette like a bizatch :blueangel:
