I was specifically asking about the procedure of tipping the transmission to the rear in order to salvage the transmission fluid. Do you foresee any difficulty doing this using a transmission floor jack?

O sorry, we have a trans plug for that. So be very careful when tilting. If you go to far fluid will leak from the rear.

Gotcha. Yeah, I just decided to go ahead and do another flush. The last time I only had three quarts to fill anyway so I want to make sure it's full. Plus I know I would lose at least a little during the removal process. Since I needed one, might as well buy three more - easy to justify an extra $50 in the process of saving $800 in labor

*edit* I just wanted to add that I just purchased my transmission jack, and the jack itself has adjustments to tilt the transmission in any direction while it is chained to the jack. I will probably still go ahead and replace the fluids, but I now know that it wouldn't have been a problem to save most of the oil (provided I plug the rear). The dealer sold me the wrong washers for the plugs before my last flush, so I can put new washers on as well.

Can't do that at the moment due to the high cost on our end

you won't be disappointed!

On another note, had a layover in Ft Lauderdale last month and saw a Vossen billboard, very cool!

Hey John I'm looking into using your new csc kit but the car also just had a tt kit thrown on it so I will need to upgrade my clutch and flywheel as well. Any recommendations for any clutch and flywheel kits that will work well with your csc? I know you guys have your own clutch set up but I'm wondering how it will hold up with the added power because I see some turbo guys using specialty-z clutch set ups but not so many with the z1 clutch set up? If anyone could chime in it would really help.

Thanks a lot!

Hey John, I have a Spec Twin Disc Clutch that I will be installing on my HR Z. What can you do for me to get this CSC elimination kit on my Z before I send the Z in the to get the clutch installed.

Thanks,

Manny

I just installed this kit this past weekend. Nothing but good things to say. The install wasn't too much fun (did it in my garage), but we didn't run into any issues with the kit or installation. Very pleased that I don't have to worry about my CSC any more. The car drives great, as always

Thanks, Z1
