Thanks Shawn! I'm betting you know it turned out that the pictures of the car on the transport truck did end up being the first CTF car sighted. Its looking like my prediction that we'd have info by this Thursday won't end up being true. I've been trying to stay quiet unless there's some new info to give, but I'll plan on making one next weekend either to apologize for being wrong or to talk about any new info. You're right, the car is still on schedule, we are close!
Thanks for posting the video. The tip about the guide in the filter sliding into the slot in the trans was a good one. Why did you decide to replace the aftermarket trans pan with the factory original?
Thanks for watching! The 2014 and 2015 cars did not have front transmission cooling and consequently their transmissions overheated on track. I was able to get two extra laps before overheat (for a total of 6) at Heartland park by adding that deep transmission pan. I recently added the front cooling to my 2015 and it does not need the deep pan anymore. I had it on the track Thursday and it kept its cool just fine!
7:18 Could you please provide the part number for the pink cover that covers the chain ? And can i change it easily? because it is broken ! Thanks a lot for this informative post 👍🏼
As far as I can tell, at 7:18 I’m removing the transmission filter. I don’t see a pink cover or a chain. Help me understand, say it a little differently.
This was a great video. Thank you. May I ask what you added as a front cooler on the transmission. I run track occasionally with a 2015 Z51 and recently experienced that overheating condition in the 3rd session. What cooler did you use, and how tough is it to install?
Stay tuned, I shot video about how to install it, but I have not put it together for a RUclips video yet. It’s all GM OEM parts for a 2016 that you are adding. The only way to keep the C7 Z51 auto cool on track is to add the front cooler. If you are interested in a half way solution that is easier to implement, a bigger transmission pan will give you 2-3 more laps. I have an extra one I can sell you at half price if you want.
Great video, I had mine done at the dealership. I was a GM master tech {Retired} 10 years ago. I got my 2016 C7 back after they performed the TSB to flush the 8L90 transmission for fluttering through the gears, it shifts great once again but 2 weeks later I had a fluid leak on my garage floor. They changed out the filter and flushed out the fluid 3 times, but never changed out the pan gasket. I did not see you changing it out either. Did you install a new pan gasket or did you make the same mistake. I was taught that all serviceable gaskets and seals were 1 time use only. Please reply thank you. John from MA.
Thanks John! Honored to hear from a master tech. I’m not sure I should be telling you anything, but these are my thoughts, take them for what they are worth: Sorry it took me so long to see this. I did replace the gasket, but I don’t think you have to. I always do because they are usually cheap compared to the time cost of Re-doing the work. This gasket is very stout and the Chevy parts counter told me it was meant to be re-usable. It has metal torque limiters that keep it from getting smashed too flat. A quick google search revealed that the raybestos version of the gasket is sold as reusable. www.raybestospowertrain.com/transmission-filter-kits/997685 It’s a very impressive gasket, rubber with a metal backbone and a rubber ridge on both sides.
old gasket is AL ? its deformated and no chance put totaly same how was installed first time. so many ppl use sealant :/ save money makes money in this case not working. how we say: if you want to own monkeys, you have to have money for bananas :D
awesome video, but how do u get the car through all the gears with the wheels off the ground? i know in my car i have to be going at least 50 to get into 8th gear.
Great question. Common misconception. The wheels do not need to be turning. You put the car through all the shifter positions while holding the brake down.
I’m looking to purchase a C7 grand sport is the torque tube issue i’ve been reading about. Anything I should be concerned about or do you think I should be OK?
@@RecordsRebuilds you keep hearing about people having issues with torque tube failure in the C7 Corvette. I think it’s mainly where those hard rubber Couplers are.
@@RogerLaPointe-v3mthe rubber is failing on mine. You’ll eventually see a video here on how to replace it, but it’s a 10 year old car with 55,000 miles and 48 hours on track. For track cars, those rubber discs are wear items and I’ve had the engine/torque tube over 300 degrees a LOT of times. I’m not surprised it failed. A street car should not have that problem.
Haha, no. I mean, it does take quite a bit of effort, and it takes about $200 of fluid and filters, but even at $100 per work hour, this is not an 8 hour job. Changing the diff oil is a piece of cake. As you can see in this video, there isn’t anything that’s too tough to do, but it would be MUCH harder without a lift and transmission jack. See if you can find a friend who will let you use theirs. If you can’t find one, get quotes from a few different shops. I bet you can do better than $1000. Of course, they might be flushing the transmission for you as well, and that takes even more fluid. I don’t flush it, I just change what’s in the pan.
@@RecordsRebuilds I have a weird noise coming from one of five of the corvettes and its either low oils in the rear diff or low tran oil its probably black and gross at this point. it sounds like a worn belt idler pulley but its probably whine or robotic metalic sounds coming from a worn rear diff gear. but it could also be the tranny not sure...
Look up how to drain and fill the rear diff. If you know your way around a car you can do that easily. I’m sorry I don’t have a video up for that. I’ll make one before next track season.
Hello! Would torque specs be same for a 2016 camaro 2ss? Also can I use the same fluid you did since we have the same trans if im not mistaken. Im not sure if Amsoil is worth the extra money compared to moble 1 atf. Thanks for the help!
A good while if I remember correctly. 15-30 minutes maybe? I used an OBD reader that gave me the exact temp reading. You may have better luck driving it to get it up to temp then putting it on the lift.
It’s this one: smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07R7JKG74?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Buy it today. Last time someone asked me this question they were out of stock.
I know people disagree about that a lot. In real life, my family just says “lbs” as a form of short hand. The GM manuals say lb ft for everything, so I always (I think) say it that way in the videos.
How did you get the fill plug back in without burning your hands on the exhaust pipe? I would guess that if wait until the car cools, the fluid will drain out the fill hole since it was previously suspended when it was hot.

They should have shaped the pan with bolt access in mind.

A lot of things can go wrong with a torque tube. What specific issue are you referencing?

I do not know the answer to either question. I use Mobil 1 because that is what GM recommends.
Hello, How long did it take to get the fluid up to the temp to top it off?
A good while if I remember correctly. 15-30 minutes maybe? I used an OBD reader that gave me the exact temp reading. You may have better luck driving it to get it up to temp then putting it on the lift.
@@RecordsRebuilds ok thanks for the tip. I had the car on idle for 10 mins and thought that perhaps the trans temp sensor wasn’t working. Thanks!
where did you get that c7 book?
It’s the 2015 Corvette repair manual. Usually costs about $350 for the set of 4 volumes. It comes from GM.
Where did you get the 10mm socket?
It’s this one: smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07R7JKG74?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Buy it today. Last time someone asked me this question they were out of stock.

How many ft lbs would that be? 🤔

You can put the fill plug in any time. It’s on top of the transmission where nothing can drain out.
Ok, thank you. I'll give it a try.
That is too much work, take it to the Dealer!
You’re not wrong, but it’s a lot of work for the dealer too and they charge accordingly :) Thanks for watching!
