Collum Lock Bypass
Ok, after reading a few threads on here, I have now ordered my CLB from Adaptive Performance... After what all I read I was scared to drive the car again for fear of getting stranded...

I had an 01' with that problem. I used to get stuck in traffic. But, if you try to put it in gear and drive off at least 6 times, you can bypass the lock and drive away. It dosen't solve the problem, but it gets you home. I traded it in on a new 2005, and traded that in on a 2008 Z06. Two days ago, I bought a 2003 with 8,200 miles on it, and almost 20k in goodies the original owner put into it. I got a carfax on the car, it did not show any problems with the car, just allot of oil changes and other maintanance service's.

I'm glad rest of you are getting CLB's installed. You can now enjoy your Corvette without risk of getting stranded.
