Can anyone recommend a shop in Knoxville, TN to take my C5 Z06 to, for a fluid leak from my transmission.
Had output shaft seals replaced as a stipulation of the used car purchase.
I have a Monster stage 2 clutch kit NIB waiting to be installed.
Maybe I could get both done at the same time.
Thanks for your help,
Dave

Bring it down to north ga. Call kurgan motorsports or vengence racing.

Depressing that no one around Knoxville has had an experience that was positive enough to share with a Corvette at any transmission shops.
:bang:

I got a quote to replace the clutch .... $925 for labor and a slave cylinder.
Seems very high, anyone else replaced their C5 Z06 clutch?
Cost?

You've got to look at it like this. You're paying the technician(s) for their labor. They need to eat too. You're paying for the equipment and the tools needed to remove and reinstall the transmission. And you're paying for the business owner's operating costs.
The Corvette t56 certainly isn't your typical transmission and there are more steps that need to be taken to install a clutch than your typical rwd vehicle. I can promise you $925 isn't a terrible quote, but you could take your chances and find some shadetree mechanic to do it for $500.

Black Snake Blown: I was a Technician for over 12years.....
I understand your point.
But that quote is stupid high.
araber89: Thanks for a heads up.
