Is the mechanic clip in

I have a 2005 Z 51, do you know whether the gear shift throw is shorter on a Z 51 manual gear box ?

Tie rods*

@@Motorsportsgeek yes, your correct

Maybe you should make your own video with the level of detail you want for the install rather than complaining on someone else's and wasting their time ;)

Yes, you do. Mine would grind if I tried to do a hard 1-2 shift. I don’t have a remote bleeder on mine and took me forever to get all the air out

Thanks Ronald! Hope your install went well.

Google "clutch clip" and there are some for BMW and a Cobalt that look like they might work. Only 5-6 bucks plus shipping so worth a try.

Fun fact that BMW one is too small. Did anyone else figure how to find it? My buddy dropped mine and it went into Never Land

@@TheFinalRonin4774 magnet over work area. Worth a try. If it's somewhere on the car try air hose.

You only need to replace one! The only time you would need to replace the other sensor is if you are having other problems.

@@nickflair2404 Thank you very much. Can I ask you a question? There is a start issue, but it often does not start. Krenk is not working, only the display is on, and there is no response. Do you know about this?

Yes

I actually sold my vette last year and I'm now looking for the same thing! Good luck on your search.

I would make sure there's no obstructions for the pedal itself and then double-check all the connections. If anything the pedal should be squishy or go all the way down the first few pumps so it sounds like something physical is obstructing the pedal somehow.

thanks got back together today

Hey Al! I put on the Z51 bars since they are pretty cheap. Z06 are also affordable but are a tad bit stiffer than Z51. Could also go aftermarket just depends on what comfort level you want to retain for bumpy roads. Purpose for me was to improve handling of the car.

@@nickflair2404 ok, thanks. Thinking of going a bit bigger in the front. Maybe a strano bar. Still looking for the best option.

Thanks Alfred! Haven't driven a Boxster to know what you can expect, but it's hard to go wrong in a vette.

I’ve test drove a few corvettes before (both base and z51 versions), and as a comparison, the handling on the boxsters (I’ve had 2) are sweeter, more intuitive and communicative. They just handle like a dream. What the corvette brings is power!!! Handling is decent but it comes with so much power...... I’m waiting for spring/summer to probably pull the trigger

I think you shouldn't have any trouble finding one. I know this is anecdotal, but I was looking at C7s and there has been a surge of inventory because of C8 announcement, so im sure that'll make the market improve on the buying side.

Hey Rahul. The 17s wont clear the z51 brackets, but a "square set" I referred to is basically 18s all around. You have to buy two sets and sell the 17s, but it's still a pretty cheap set of lightweight racing wheels.

@@nickflair2404 so the 18x10.5 rear speedline wheels fit in the front on a base? I would think this would be too wide.

It's very difficult but what I did was line the pin up and hold it in place with a finger, and used other fingers to pull the two lines together. Its difficult but I promise you'll get it after awhile, it requires some patience. If you can get a helper to maybe grab the other end through the driver side wheel well after removing the wheel that may get you across the finish line. Something i've always done if i get stuck working on a car is take a break, have a cold beverage, and come back to it. It always helps, good luck!

@@nickflair2404 good advice thank you!! Should I get a clip maybe this one is old?

No problem John! It's definately a job that requires some dexterity!

Thanks kromaru! Hope you have fun at your next track session.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to doing one of the C8 when it comes out, although I doubt I'll have it in pieces like that one lol.

Hey Niko, in my case i was getting a message in the console saying "shift to reverse" so if you get that message its possible. In a pinch I would disconnect the battery to turn the car off, but in my case the engine cut off fine but the electronics didnt. Its possible a new ignition button may fix your issue and would be a easy thing to install. It may just be an issue with the bottom portion since turning on works fine. Maybe try to put it on accessory mode while the vehicle is turned off and see how the button acts.

It didn't in my case. Can you tell where the sound is coming from or what causes it to make that sound?

@@nickflair2404 like under the shifter. But mine is hard to put in gear and it pops outta gear

Wesley Kuntz that’s the diff, u need to change fluid it may help.

If you just want the braking and suspension components, like the sway bar, stiffer springs, shocks, and larger rotor I say go for it (that's what I did). They offer a good balance between handling and street, and it's a less expensive option over Z06 parts. The transmission cooler and oil cooler are a little more involved, earlier years have them integrated in the radiator. Power steering cooler is easy and replaces the "figure 8" lines. I should be making a new video on replacing the sway bars soon. Its a quick install and you'll feel the difference!

No problem! Hope I was able to help.
