Bought new tires. WOW!
I only do paint and bodywork for my own cars, but I'm sure you know that it isn't cheap. Not really up on what anyone else charges. I had to paint the entire car, one panel/piece at a time. Ron- 97GTS

Bought new tires. WOW!
I had them mounted and balanced at my brother in law's tire center! Family discount. I have had the alignment done twice on both front and rear by an awesome shop in Tampa: Cars n Concepts. Chuck hooked me up with these guys. They set up a lot of race car suspensions so they were just what I...- 97GTS

Lose clutch after long drive.
If I parked on the parkway I would get a ticket. If I drive on my driveway I will crash:omg: Dave, you are correct, I am releasing the cluch pedal when I hear the sound. About half clutch, half gas.No Dukes slides into Hooters! When I depress the clutch completely, the sound goes away. Ron- 97GTS

Bought new tires. WOW!
This is absolutely, hands down, the best purchase I have made for my car so far. A little history: Bought my car that was banged up, in Sept 2007. Spent the next 2 years fixing and repainting it. It had 01 wheels on it with date codes of 1999:omg: Drove it like it was on eggshells for 3k...- 97GTS

Diff rebuilt and new fluid about 3k miles ago as well. The noise it definitely coming from the engine/tranny area, not the rear. Ron- 97GTS

Lose clutch after long drive.
Exactly. The only 2 times that I have heard it were when I had driven about 15 minutes from a cold start. Mostly town driving. Stopped at a traffic light, guy in front of me was watching me in his mirror and not watching the light. I revved up the engine (clutch in) to let him know about the...- 97GTS

Lose clutch after long drive.
Put it up on the lift and pulled the cover: Dry as a bone. No drips, leaks or film. Just dust from the clutch. How do I absolutely either rule in or rule out a throwout bearing problem? Ron- 97GTS

OK enough of the Vette mistakes
How exactly did I "get it wrong?". Regardless of what anyone else thinks, including you, I STILL get confused when seeing the car from the side. It IS my confusion, so how is that wrong? Post pics of the cars FROM THE SIDE AND FROM A DISTANCE and the similarities are more pronounced. Doesn't...- 97GTS

Damn. When people ask me if I have any hobbies I usually tell them fishing, cars, etc. Do you tell them that you pull transmissions for fun?:omg: Should be second nature for you by now. Ron- 97GTS

:lmao::lmao::lmao: Forgive me if I don't believe that you had never worked on a car before. With all of your advice here? You seem to know more than most here. Any tips once I get the tranny out for removing the throw-out bearing? Tips for re-installing everything? Replacing the slave...- 97GTS

Uh, Mike that sounds like a hero removal time. What about us mere mortals? Any suggestions? Sounds like my throw-out bearing might be gone. Ron- 97GTS

Lose clutch after long drive.
Nice. I would imagine it can't be good to drive it in this condition, right? It just started 2 drives ago. What to I have left? 2 miles? 2,000?:D Pisser. I've got new tires coming tomorrow that I was really wanting to test out. I have been pretty much babying this car since I got it because...- 97GTS

Funny, I've never had that happen in my GTS:D I'll admit that from a distance from the side I still get fooled that an SRT-10 is a Vette. Ron- 97GTS

I'll pull the plate and look. Is there an easy way to tell if it is the throwout bearing or pilot bearing? The sound goes away after I push in the clutch. Ron- 97GTS

Lose clutch after long drive.
I probably won't get it on my lift until tomorrow so I will know more then. The clutch was replaced by the previous owner so I thought that everything would be good (fluid and level). Everything was not good so I am going back and doing/checking everything. What am I looking for when I pull...- 97GTS

No fluid leaking. Just bled the lines ala the illustrated guide (Thanks Mike) but managed to break one of the retaining clips for the clutch pedal so until I get another one the mystery remains. The fluid was very dark:omg: so I was glad to get rid of it. There appeared to be quite a bit of air...- 97GTS

Lose clutch after long drive.
After being on the interstate for a while without using the clutch it sometimes goes completely out. Go to shift into another gear and the pedal goes to the floor. After pumping for a while it comes back. This doesn't ever happen when in and around town, just after being on a long drive...- 97GTS

Tinted Tails...
Just had my windows tinted dark yesterday. And YES it does make visibility more limited but I will take that over the intense Florida heat that pounds my black car anyday. The difference inside is unbelievable. No, I didn't tint the windshield and still get heat from it and the dash since it is...- 97GTS

I think that it looks great on cars with color, especially yellow ie bee. Silver cars would also look awesome. My car already being black, I am not so sure. Would it make the rear end TOO black? Comments encouraged. I would probably lean toward the removable film so I could remove it if I...- 97GTS
