Had a ‘23 C8 Z51 and the worry of the transmission going was always a worry. Sold it. Bought a ‘24 911 GTS with a manual transmission. Do miss the C8.

NOTE!!!!! No need to put an extra 2 quarts of transmission oil in a C8...may do more harm than good in everyday driving!!!!!!!!!

also the c8 have safety issue with the seatbelts, where at times occupants are unable to get of the seatbelt.

This guy who works for GM said this about gm corvette transmission ,very impartial post by him right.Loren Cocking Admin Group expert in Cars Don’t believe everything that some backyard mechanic tells you on a Podcast. Just because they can put it out there doesn’t make it so. At Preston Chevrolet I can categorically state that - after 4 years of dealing with all different versions of C8’s - we’ve seen exactly ONE with any sort of a transmission issue. One! So let’s deal with facts here, people, not supposition. Let’s keep everything in perspective and not make mountains out of molehills! Save the wave, everyone.

This is what happens when you copy the PDK!! It's not a PDK!

🤣

Z06 = quarter of a million dollars. I bought my Eray for $140,000. Includes carbon ceramic brakes, and it’s FASTER that a Z06!

I am a loyal GM buyer, been one for over 30 years. I am currently employed in a high volume Chevrolet dealership service department. Been here almost a year. I am amazed at what I've seen. I'm done with GM!!

To many burnouts is the problem

Our 2023 HTC has a gear whine, now I know what to expect. I love the car, best one this 76yo has ever driven in my 65 years of driving experience. I wish we lived closer, you and I think alike.

Well 2023 / 2024 have a transmission recall but then they state it’s not every vin BUT is every vin lol.

The DCT is a bust. It is way too complicated to make and maintain reliability. It fails in the Vette, the GT 500, the GT-R, and the BMW's where it was used in high horsepower applications. BMW finally took a smart pill and has ditched it for all high HP cars. Only remains on a couple low HP models. GIve GM a decade and .......they still won't have it fixed. See how the Active/Dynamic fuel management has worked out after 15 years? No solutions and still a problem.

My 2023 c8 stingray z51 coupe had the transmission replaced. It was stressful at the time, but the new transmission has been great. I’m currently happy that I bought it.

I don’t know you and your channel came up in my feed. I saw an older video where you replaced your own DCT filter. I’m not saying this caused your problem or that you did anything wrong at all. I just don’t self-service my C8 because I don’t want GM to have any freakin’ reason to deny a warranty claim.

I’d never own an automatic sportscar😊

Can't Imagine a Chevrolet Having Transmission Issues lol .. Cuz That Never Happens! 🫤

Wait for the 1064 hp model, you think that won't have any problems one is crazy

Do you drive it like you stole it?

The first thing I would look at is the sticker on your door. On the upper left it will have the build date, if your car was built after July 23 it has the new Die-3 trans casing with a cast oil pan and different bolt spacing, all internals remain the same. The pan is also bigger and I think it's the same trans casing as the ZO6. To replace your trans they will need to pull your drivetrain out of the bottom of the car, around 13 to 15 hrs. of work. Also, some units may have a condition where the transmission fasteners were improperly torqued. To correct this problem, certified GM technicians are to inspect affected Vettes and replace the transmission and all corresponding components, including a coolant flush, as necessary. I'm sure they know what's wrong and have been through this over and over, it's very common.

Makes me wonder if the transmission was damaged by the tow company? So far no issues of any kind with my 2023 HTC but then I only have 3800 miles

I absolutely love the c8, but I have a little family, and it is hard for me to justify it now even though I can buy it cash. The transmission is the deciding factor as to why I am going to wait for the C9. If you do enough research, it's crystal clear this is an ongoing issue, and I would be salty if I spent 100k just to have my car sit for several months waiting for a repair or pay for it out of pocket once out of warranty.

Sorry about the trans. Sounds like you handling it well. Way better than I would.

At 8:40 we hear words or wisdom😢

Mine gets a high pitched squeak after brief spirited curvy driving.

I'd say stick with what ya got and save up for them trucks!!

Glad I passed on buying a c8... I'll stick with the 6spd manual in a c6. Reliabe transmission and engine. It's more about the driving experience for me than goosing it out of every stop anyway.

Yah know I get sick of people complaining about having no money then they go buy a new corvette for a hundred grand just sayn

What do you expect it’s a GM 😂 What is going or gone in the transmission the front pump ? I’d keep the car you got, what are you going to do with 600hp. Why sink yourself into debt buying another car. The only cars that hold value are the early vettes from the 70s

Hi Mike, I just watched your RUclips channel. About your transmission problem. We sold our 2022 Caffeine Metalic to Prince George Wood Wheaton in June. Have you seen it around Prince George? We want to order a ZR1. Sorry we sold it Loved that car.

Wow…we are cut from the same cloth Mike! First and foremost, my condolences on your tranny…that sucks! I have been contemplating all what you say… maybe get the z06…but the damn increase in price and that BS luxury tax sucks as well lol…get the tranny fixed, put the after market high wing, you already have a z06 rockers and front lip and call it a day…plus you have the space in the garage for a third vette! 😉

They don't build anything like they used to.

I would get the C8 transmission fixed, keep it and buy a certified used Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. The Porsche Canada website shows used Porsches across the country…get one, fly out and drive it home!

Hope you got $16.000 plus labor for a new Tran !!!!!

the Zora to be around $200.000 Finally Super Car Prices 😁 early C4 started at abt $25 K

Wow they sure don't make them like they use to, what a bummer.

This late in the game, Just wait for the C9's to come out...

Your not alone Mike, our 2024 Terrain gave me a "hold steering" alarm which could be a bad sensor, pump, fluid and it aint fluid, 34hundred miles.............swell dealer cant get to it until friday, gotta go see my heart doctor this morning, now I'm forced to take the 2500 gmc 4x4.......darn.....

Good job!!! Curious to see what happens next!!

Too silly to watch, grow up. I tried to watch a helpful video, but couldn't.

It sure is fun watching you Diesel guys work on gas stuff.

With old vehicles like this Mike you should start with changing all the plugs, leads and dizzy cap, points and condenser, then the coil, the fuel lift pump is pretty basic, then if its getting fuel it should start theres nothing else to stop it.

Needs tbi n turbo. Let's go!

Think this be another truck restoration on the cards it seems to run good and to good to be parked up as a flower garden bed

Thought a coil had to be upright they have oil in them it no good been up side down thst what been told anyway

Cheack. The cap points.

🏃

Great video Mike and Andrea glad you were able to get it fixed so it runs and drives. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Mike and Andrea.

That is the 1st engine I ever worked on, lots of fun memories. You can use a matchstick cover to gap your points if you want, should be 35 on plug gap. Noticed it wasn't burning any oil which is a giant plus. Ok thanks for the video, yep memories......
