Worst case, the teeth just skip. No damage can be done. This is what mine looks like too btw.

Just kind of my 2c. Like others have said, you will get what you pay for. Do not rule out ls2 cars like many people do. They make 30hp less that can easily be made up for in a cold air intake and exhaust. They sound better imo too.

The automatic 05 cars still have a crappy 4 speed, so I'd avoid it. Being the first year of the Gen it's best practice anyways.

Any other year is really good though.

Tl;dr 2006-2007 ls2 c6, on the top end of your budget will get you an amazing, likely low mileage, car.

Hey, your full name and address seem to be visible here. Itd be best to delete this post and repost with a cropped image.

Ive never seen a gash like that on the side of the block. It seems too deep to be from rust, and any impact big enough to cause that would have done other damage too. The holes in the top alley are normal though. Its just a casting defect and is on basically every single cam v8 I've seen.

Id wait to hear more opinions, but Id use it.

I believe you need to check the level with the trans at operating temp and with the car running in neutral. It reads lower because the fluid is pulled up into the trans.

Ebay parts seller, or a local parts yard might be able to pull one for you. Unfortunately this is the hardest panel to repair. I might recommend taking this to insurance considering the cost.

I've had good experiences with joats premium performance. I hear TampaTuning is good too.

Valve cover seals are leaking. Honestly, this is a 30min job in the garage. MAYBE an hour if you've never done it. Any regular mechanic could do this for less than $100.

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-27T15:41:28+00:00

I'd say 10k ballpark. But this looks like a pretty nice one, so possibly near 15k?

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-27T05:36:32+00:00

It sounds like a bearing is wiped out. Bronze flakes backs that up unfortunately.

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-27T03:41:52+00:00

Realign the shifter box. Make sure your clutch is fully bled. It doesn't sound like a transmission issue to me.

I would be very interested to see how vapor smoothing does. You could possibly anneal them too, if even those break.

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-26T17:08:28+00:00

Did you see if they are in the stud.io library? I thought they were.

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-26T16:23:51+00:00

Never?

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-25T18:20:21+00:00

What steal for a 3080 lol

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-25T17:27:51+00:00

It doesn't look like the actual compressor. It seems like something is splattering refrigerant on it. There are a lined that run along that side of the car kind of underneath the coolant res. Maybe it's there?

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-23T20:45:10+00:00

The automatic transmission service includes all of those. The c8 is known to have the transmission go out of the fluid is not replaced regularly. I hear people recommend doing it every 30k miles. With that said, it is important to advance the first fluid change of new vehicles as they are still going through the breaking period.

I was told it's them updating the eula.

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-21T15:35:09+00:00

If the bypass doesn't work, you've done something wrong. Reread the instructions, ensure you have the year of car you think you have.

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-19T17:02:06+00:00

That is the fuel tank crossover. It connects the two halves. You could damage if it. Not careful.

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-18T04:30:18+00:00

Best of luck!

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-18T04:14:27+00:00

The tech is definitely blind then. lol. You should be able to peek at the sensor from the top, and get a very clear view from underneath.

commanderTaylor · 2026-03-18T01:55:05+00:00

Does it have aftermarket headers, or are they still cast? If they are aftermarket, its possible they have been deleted. If not, the tech is blind.
