Last week we were enjoying a series of quick videos from GM World Class Technician Paul Koerner of Key Chevrolet in Middletown, CT that featured a 1999 Corvette with telltale signs of leaking from the transmission and rear differential.
Last week saw Paul on Day 1 do a visual inspection of the drivetrain from the lift and then on Day 2 the transmission and differential was removed for a closer inspection.
Paul continued the project over the weekend with disassembly of the rear differential and the good news is that it’s in good working order. But not is all that it should be and once again Paul’s experienced eye spots it right away and he shares what he sees.
