I agree the forum members at great lending a hand with information, I just used toque's write ups to change my tranny fluid and rear, definitely took all guess work put of it. Not to mention you get to know your car better.

Congrats on a successful DIY project. Had to save a bundle too by not having to take it to a shop for the repair.

Good going! Kudo's to everyone that trys to fix stuff on these. Vettes are not an easy car to work on, no matter what year. There's a lot of stuff crammed under there. It's kind of amazing how they can put everything in that limited space, and it's a bitch to get to most of it!
