C-6 6spd transmissoin problems
I'm looking at a used C6, 13k miles, and the trans was just worked on. Dealer wasn't too forthcoming with any info and I haven't pushed for details this early in negotiations. My question...what exactly was the issue with some of the early c6 6spds and is the "fix" a good one or will I be faced with more problems down the road. The car in question was #53 off the line. Any imput would be helpfull. Thanks in advance. Bedroker

#53
the early vette's had crank bolt issues,and some other stuff,but i've never heard of a tranny issue.go to the FAQ'S section and you'll see most,if not all,of the issues w/early c5's. ALSO,IF YOU HAVE ANY FREINDS AT CHEVY DEALRES do a vin search in the service dept fo the car's history.

Not sure: I would contact a service guy and ask them honestly. The truth is that my guy is real honest with me, and they don't know the solution yet.
