    I use to be in California, now in Fayetteville , Ark. Had some work performed at Abel. Have a 2016 Corvette.purchased early 2019 with 2300 miles. Presently 36,700 Nineth Corvette. Experiencing A8 transmission problems. Had once before,went to Dailey Chevrolet San Leandro Found out the Triple flush had previously been performed assume by Lithia Chevrolet in Redding. Dailey kept Vette making adjustments to transmission. The Vette was fine. But recently had the same issues.When you stop it vibrates and bucks. Shifts strong from 1 to 2. These are the only times it does and not always. Have extended warranty from Chevrolet good thru 60k miles early 2024.

    Is there a current fix?
    Scheduled to be in show on 4-28 700 miles . Should I drive it ?
    The dealership I use is Fayetteville Chevrolet. My first Corvette was 1961. I am 80 years

    R-

    My stock race car needs some 100k love. I need all fluids, maybe find out how water is getting in the driver side and Im getting that cricket noise again from the front end of the motor. Im guessing it will have to spend the night and I have no ride back to napa. can you help me out?

    Hey Rich,

    Hey Rich, I'm thinking about replacing brake pads on my 2008 Z06 with something cleaner with much less brake dust. What do you recommend and how much installed? Mine is not tracked or driven competitively.

    Richie...just saw John's obituary in the Chronicle...so sorry to see. He was a terrific competitor in the San Francisco Region, SCCA, during my active years...many fond memories of close battles on the race course. Hadn't seen him in many years....my profound condolences to the Abel family and those close to him.

    Hello Rich,
    I assume you are still a vendor for LG Motorsports? Could you quote me a price for their monoball set and a set of drop spindles for a 2006 Z06?
    Thank you!

    So an old post on this subject from you and I checked everywhere including the Zo6 and ZR1 forums. Do you know if my OEM Speedline Spyders 18x9.5 and 19x12 would be compatible with ZR1 Brembos? I have an 07. Would the ZR1 calipers clear or do I need a 19/20 setup? I am using spacers if that makes a difference.
