Hello - Looking for some feed back and thoughts. I own a 03 ZO6 with the reverse starting to slip as well as it popping out of 6th. I came across a 01 c5 base manual with only 1000 miles on it for 1500.00 Question, should i jump on the tranny with 1000 miles on it or just have my zo6 tranny rebuilt.

The gearing is different on the base tranny and it will make your Z06 feel slower.

My guess is that your reverse syncro is going bad. This can be repaired.
