Default Damn..my Z06 fixed itself..

i took it to HMP last friday and made a few passes. Since i was going to take it in anyway to have the tranny fixed, i didnt care if any would break. I had to bang the gears to get it in 2nd and 3rd...On the way home i raced a silver T/A..he beat me both times since i had so much problems getting into gears..So i just drove it home cruising up to 5th only since i though 6th was still jacked up..

i took the car out for a spin yesterday and was cruising around and noticed that the gear box was so much smoother and that the shift to 4th light was working again..So i got on the freeway and put it into 6th and its working again...I took the car to work today and everything is still working great..

Sounds like maybe your slave is going out. After a little "mix-up" with the shop that installed my new clutch, I was having LOTS of problems getting into gear because the slave wasn't disengaging correctly. Turns out they didn't replace the slave.

Try this: Pump the clutch pedal quickly a few times to build pressure, then see if your shifts get smoother again.

That was me playing with you Duy. The Z06 isn't bad for stock. I've just got a tad bit more power than the black knight.

Hopefully it will stay fixed... But I'd still have it all checked out so you wont have any problems later down the road.
