2nd C6 death behind 521 - help +
I use my 521 on the street in a 2900 lb car. Street tires only so far.
Last week went to the Fling in London OH and started giving rides - the money - all of it - goes to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
After about 30 (or 40 or ??) burnouts the C6 started acting oddly.
If I put it in Drive and let my foot off the brake, it acts like somebody's holding the emergency brake. Have to give it a bunch of gas before it'll downshift into 1st and go.
Neutral & reverse are normal.
It did this (or worse) at 812 miles, so it was rebuilt then, supposedly by an expert.
Now at over 10,000 miles here we go again.
For a supposedly bulletproof trans, this is too much work!
Any ideas?
I'd like to find out who to get one from, what mods I need etc.
Help!
Tom
