C8 Transmission maintaintenance tips
Lurk C8, enjoy reading new owner's experiences good or not.
While following one link here came across this uTube video.
Thought it really important for C8 owners be aware of this as it's 1st time hearing it for me.
Especially pertanent for owners intent on doing DIY service, specifically trans.
This new Corvette's a revolutionary ME and what it took designers to fit everything in means definite headaches getting out/access, though.
Speaking particularly of 'routine' trans maint, which certainly doesn't appear so routine.
Just a FYI, don't inadvertently destroy tranny.

Just the Facts
Don't get it? Couldn't have more than a handful of miles on the car. Why screw around with it? Particularly when you are dumb and dumber. A devastating combination all to familiar with You Tubers.

It was an interesting video - regarding the bolts. However, it claim that chevy should have put in 2 quarts I do not agree with. The manual states only for heavy duty track users. Aslo, if you track the corvette you have to change the oil after 24 hrs of use.
