Does anyone have access to the GM repair manual for the C7 Z06? My 2016 M.Y. auto has been to two local dealers now and has all the symptoms that indicate the torque convertor needs to be replaced but both dealers say everything is fine. Not many vettes sold in SW Ontario Canada and I dont trust a tech who has never done this to tackle it with an impact gun pit crew style. At this point I am willing to take this on myself out of sheer frustration with the dealer network. I’m fully capable of handling it myself and have a hoist, tools, etc., mainly looking for the reference docs to see what special tools may be required. The updated convertor p/n looks to be around $400 based on a quick web search, I’m willing to just pay for it outright and write off a weekend to get the car running properly. Anyone tackle this project themselves yet?

Appreciate any info.

There's a tsb with the procedure that will easily tell them the proper course of action.

Find a dealer with competent techs and youll have zero issues.

Uldated fluid as of january 2019 and if that doesnt cure ut they'll change the TC.

If not? Being it down here to NJ and my dealer will fix it. Seacoast Chevrolet. They have the best vette tech kn the east coast..

Hoist? or Lift? You will need a lift or a way to get the car as high as possible and at least one decent transmission jack capable of safely supporting the transmission, the rear end and the torque tube as they are lowered as an assembly. Goggle the C5 or C6 transmission replacement procedure. I believe the C7 procedure is very similar although I personally haven't done a C7 yet.

(2 transmission jacks are needed if you intend to remove the transmission from the torque tube without removing or disconnecting the torque tube from the engine).
