Default Hello!

Well i picked up my c5 yesterday. Love the car in general but already have issues with it. My tranny is notchy as hell and my oil pressure gauge is going up and down. Go figure. Either it's a sensor or the oil pump. This sucks.

Sorry to hear about the problems with your car. The C5 Tech/Performance section has a lot of valuable info and helpful info there, so I’d suggest you make a thread there and ask for some assistance. Also, welcome to the forum.

Thanks fellas. I've been weeding through the threads all day on the issue. I just want some peace of mind. Sucks getting a new car and have to keep an eye on it before you can have any fun.

Congrats and welcome aboard!!

Oil pressure is most likely the sender. Those have a history of failing. Good luck!
