Put in your miles and whatever problems you had since ownership. Also post what car and what motor, and if it is Auto or Manual.

2005 GTO

Manual.
35xxx

Around October I had clogged cats. Deleted the Cats, car feels very stout, and sounds 1 million times better.

(problems before i bought the car.)
Third gear grinds when i slam 3rd, or downshift to third above 3k. This happens every so often.
Forth Gear locks me out when i go threw the gears.

1998 Vette 22,xxx miles....

Completely rebuilt car!!! :bigthumb:

I can say that the oil level sensor was no good!



On the 2005 Vette LS2/6spd that I had bought brand new, the gas gauge did not work when I picked the car up. Then I had to have the trans rebuilt under warranty after fighting with the dealership. They told me that the aftermarket clutch I used voided the warranty. The trans rebuild was at around 24,xxx miles.

bought it @ 47k, reworked suspension and installed a HSW 150HP kit. Spun a rod bearing @ 57500, "fixed" it with a new forged bottom end w/ H/C. The 10 bolt was whiny and loose on the stock motor, but was basically destroyed within 250mi after getting the new motor in, "fixed" it by installing a Moser 9". Clutch pedal had the classic problem of returning properly after really romping on the car 1st-4th, fixed that w/a new clutch and slave cyl.
