Needed to replace the 2 gear syncro assy and the slave/masters assemblies. So I figure why not install a new clutch. That led to why not upgrade the toque tube, then the diff got a new micro polished gear, bearings, C6Z clutches and shafts. I may not ever fishish this thing. Goal is to have it back together for LS Fest in Bowling Green.

I plan on changing my tranny fluid when I get home. Did you find a write up on it, or already knew the process? How long did the tranny fluid change take?

His Z06 most likely doesn't have an automatic transmission.

Looked at it a couple times.

But in about 30 minutes I'm going to install and test the new Parrot blue box I received today.

It's in the garage. I'm trying to perfectly gap and align the front body panels once and for all.

Yes, I enjoy a good challenge.

good call, good call but you never know. I don't know anyone that's changed the fluid in a manual tranny without cause.. either really high miles or racing maybe?
