Default 342 Rear

Will a 342 rear from a 2000 C5 Z06 bolt up to a 1999 C5 with an auto? I know I would have to have the computer reprogrammed, but are there any physical differences that would prevent the swap?

First off they didn't make a Z 06 in 2000. A 342 rear from a manual C/5 will fit an auto C/5, w/no problem. Hope this answers your question.

there's no concerns with this swap. But the donor car's 3.42 carrier will be missing the "seal plate".

All you need do is remove this plate from your cars carrier and transfer it over to the 3.42 carrier.

spot where seal plate should be installed on the 3.42:


pic of that same area - but now with the plate in-place:

Asking + listening = learning. This is a great forum, that I've used before each and every mod. Good luck.
