[QUOTE="JJTL, post: 281612, member: 7883"] Happy August everyone! Been awhile since I posted an update, too focused on getting the Vette to daily driver status! A lot of good progress. The transmission leak slowed me down for awhile, as per the update in the dedicated thread, this got sorted by the great team at Mr. Transmission Kitchener. The new tires are on the car. Most of the main fluids have now been changed. The coolant, power steering and clutch are all that remain. A tune up (plugs, wires, rotor/cap and timing) is also a major one still to be done. I didn't want to drive it too much with the transmission leak, but I did manage to get to my first car show. After the trans got fixed I also made the first commute to the office! [ATTACH type="full"]99417[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]99418[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]99419[/ATTACH] Now I'm working on a Front Right brake issue. I completed a much needed brake fluid flush this past weekend. I have very little pressure at the RF. This either causes the brake not to engage at all (explains the pull to the left on braking) or the brake clamps but the pressure does not release causing the brake to drag while driving. So far my hope is that it's a clogged/bad brake hose. I have one on order, and will try that this weekend. The other potential cause from my research, is that it could be a stuck ABS modulator valve. Any other ideas? Just in case, does anyone here have any experience cleaning or servicing the ABS solenoids or valves? Thanks in advance for your input! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far.
