Re: The "Other" IROC-Z Thread

Nice! Yea that tank was a pain in the ass at 1/4 tank with me wrestling it out on my back. I can only imagine the joy you had with it being full. Im glad my new tank has a removable filler, the heat shield and exhaust are all that needs to be removed now to get it out. While you’ve got it at that level of disassembly, check your transmission extension housing bushing and tail shaft seal really close. My was leaking pretty good at only 50,000 miles. The bushing was worn, which is another common problem with the 700r Fbody transmissions. Your transmission looks pretty nice. Mine still shifts great, hope yours is the same. Im going to do the corvette servo mod to mine pretty soon. I put dex6 back in mine and am pretty happy with how it shifts and performs. Supposedly 6 runs cooler 3 with no other adverse effects. Im confident I’m the only one to ever pull the pan on mine, looks like yours might be the same going by the pan sealing surface on the case.
