Default Z06 problem please help
Hi all,

I have a 2001 Z06 and I don't get to drive it much because I am never home (I think I have 15K miles on it).

The problem started last year and I didnt do anything about it. I don't know too much about the engine and performance parts so please dont make fun for my lack of proper car word usage.

Eveytime I shift gears, I hear a sound that sounds like a horese galloping with its horseshoes. It usually occurs when I am in the lower gears. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Can anyone diagnos it for me and help me find a solution.

Thanks

Probably your clutch. Does the shift go in smooth or is it hard to get into gear?

I think what you are describing is the pressure plate wieghts that move around for balance. These have a tendancy to rattle and is normal for the Z06.

I'm no expert though so my thoughts are always suspect.

That's not a great description of the problem. You might want to take a drive over to A&A to get it checked out.
