Re: Possible Transmission Issue, Or Something Else?

The more I think on it the more I'm leaning towards the possibility that when it was prepped for sale - it's a two owner car, I'm the second owner and the original owner passed away from my...

Re: Possible Transmission Issue, Or Something Else?

The dealership did a 28 point inspection and found no issues, they did not change the trans fluid and if they did they did not tell me. I was thinking in an earlier service it was probably changed...

Re: Possible Transmission Issue, Or Something Else?

A few other things I just thought to add, I said it doesn't sound like grinding, but I should amend that. It has a bit of a grinding sound, but NOT like gears grinding, definitely not like gears...

Re: Possible Transmission Issue, Or Something Else?

What you said about the mechanic is exactly why I'm on hear asking and not even sure it's a transmission issue. He gave me no specific diagnosis or parts needed, and as I said he didn't take the...

Re: Possible Transmission Issue, Or Something Else?

I don't have a video handy, but I'll try to get one ASAP as maybe that will help, but for now I'll do my best to describe it. I know it's not a normal noise. For one I didn't hear it on the first...

Possible Transmission Issue, Or Something Else?

I have a '91 ZR1 that I bought almost 2 years ago. It has 6,000 miles on it. I drove it 3 miles and parked it. There were no problems or unusual sounds at that point.

I drove it last week...

Re: 1991 ZR-1 Exhaust Manifold Bolt Specs

Thanks for that info. I'll look into that. The bolts for the ZR1 are going to be different from standard c4 exhaust manifold bolts I imagine right? I can find those with no problem so I just want to...

Re: Passenger Side Header Stud - Replacing Bolt

I've tried all the suggestions in my original post, but I haven't taken the exhaust manifold off, that's pretty involved and although I could do that, I'm not a mechanic so I'm not sure I want to...

Re: Possible Leak - Engine Smoking

Max, I haven't had a chance to investigate the problem further yet, so no I have not fixed it. Yes, plugs 4&6 are on the passenger side. It sounds like my problem, except that mine doesn't smell...

Re: Possible Leak - Engine Smoking

There is possibly a little smoke coming out the back. I thought possibly that could just be exhaust. I'm not sure if it's oil or coolant, it doesn't smell like oil and I'm not exactly sure what...

Re: C4 ZR1 - Value/Investment

Fully Vetted, I couldn't have said that better myself! It's not a fair comparison at all. I'm speaking of a good investment in terms of cars, not in terms of every investing option. I've invested...

Re: C4 ZR1 - Value/Investment

It sounds like we're both on the same page, I've shopped around and tried to find a rarer color, maybe not as rare as your color, but definitely less common than some. And I do expect there will be...

Re: C4 ZR1 - Value/Investment

I've done a good bit of looking and definitely seen higher mileage cars for less money, but with 6k miles I definitely don't intend to drive it often, it would be garaged and only driven a few miles...

Re: C4 ZR1 - Value/Investment
