Great tribute to a true legend in Corvette history!

[@pryerpalm10103]

C8 owner here, in this day and age you would think by now there would be no problems with transmissions, how can gm after all these years still not have this issue settled . I never had any transmission issue with any of all my foreign made cars, and I have had probably 15 cars foreign made. Not one transmission issue. Now it makes me wonder if i still want to purchase a zr1.

[@ppeller3]

Loved the tribute Rick! BRAVO! Thanks TADGE!👊🏻💪🏼👍🏻🇺🇲💥🎤

[@braddoyle5788]

Well done episode! I think the background noise adds to the authenticity of it. You can be heard just fine. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍

[@rwilliams101]

You 2 are so great together!! Time for a road show!! 😅

[@choward874]

GM is notorious for having transmission issues been that way for a long time.

[@HAULUUZ]

Across all there models. Why can’t they figure it out!

[@choward874]

@@HAULUUZ because they don't care enough to do something about it. That's just a fact. And it's not only GM, fords quality has gone in the dirt. I saw a KZbin video where a guy bought a brand new raptor and the seats are coming apart at the stitching! They kept his truck for 5 months!! Then it had engine issues! The AC had problems, on a brand new raptor!! And they took 5 months to fix it all because they said Ford had parts issues!

[@kenrosemann6996]

You guys had me laughing out loud with the noise interruptions, etc. Hilarious! Also, Chuck's "whaaaaaaaat?" 🙂

[@msowerby]

Thanks Tadge! Fingers crossed you can get a photo with him and your car! 🙏👍

[@bobpost3656]

Great show guys. Thanks for all you do and info you provide.

[@matthewklug7679]

Taking over for Tadge, now that’s pressure!

[@jefflawson7468]

Amazing photos ❤👍👍👍😎

[@jefflawson7468]

Always enjoy your videos

[@jimhineman8695]

Well done Rick!

[@williamtaylor4540]

I would buy a "Thanks Tadge" cap, if you ever offered them for sale. Thank you for a great video, as usual!

[@robunderwood4943]

Really appreciate your updates and info. I have a 23, produced November 22, 23. So I guess we'll wait for the VIN updates and see

[@PedroFigueiredo-ti7vu]

Thx tadge, let's hope the future of corvette is still great in other hands...

[@danvandusen128]

Good afternoon Rick and Chuck. Welcome back. Always makes my day. Thank you both 🎉

[@kimjarvis1061]

Thank you for taking a pic with me at the ncm bash

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Thanks for asking appreciate the support

[@comfortablynumb4797]

Ok, thanks Zora...but no thanks to GM for failing to produce the cars that you advertise!! "It's going to take a while to get a transmission"?? Gee, what a surprise!!!

[@scottcox2583]

NICE job guys!

[@sledge7583]

If my car falls in this, the dealership is giving me one off the lot. My car will sit inside the showroom locked, until the day the transmission shows up .

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Good luck with that not how it works anymore man - stay tuned

[@robertjakicic5878]

Thank You Rick and Chuck for another great tech Tuesday and what a fantastic tribute to Tadge.

[@steveborr5397]

Rick and Chuck, you bring us good information and it's always fun to watch. Keep up the good work.

[@vertisjohnson219]

Rick, Chuck so glad you two hand out important info on the C8. I wanted those low brake dust emitting brake pads, but when Chuck said you could blow your warranty I was done. Doesn't GM make a low dust emitting pad? I have Z51 suspension plus mag-ride. I can wash my wheels on Friday, and by Sunday they need washing again. Need Help

[@daviousking3828]

Another great video Rick. Thank you for what you do. And awesome tribute to TADGE

[@DL-lz6pj]

Well done tonight Rick, great video and edit. #ThanksTadge

[@RichardK-ql7mt5qi2y]

Great rides segment! Lots of fun to see Tadge with both C7 and C8. I loved all the shop noise and you guys were easily heard! Good info. I wondered if a loaner car is going to the owners of the cars in need of a transmission ? Thanks once again for all you do! I’m looking forward to a few long videos from the bash!

[@terryspray2319]

Hi Rick that way I never bought a c8 Corvette a with a Auto transmission I will stick wit my manual in my c6 z 06 Corvette

[@brucebeard9875]

Can’t you check the transmission fluid capacity of a 2022 versus a 2024 to see if there is a difference?

[@joelpierce3940]

Why doesn’t Chevy lube the cable with graphite for the lock out cable?

[@jimmyamico4713]

Hi Rick very helpful and informative video❤

[@TweetyBPE]

I thought the 2 liters were no longer required because they redesigned the transmission case.

[@michaelheiges7516]

Great vlog guys. Thanks to Tadge for the great corvette designs.

[@davidkeenan609]

Well done!

[@jasonray9568]

Gotta love the garage sounds guys…makes it real! Reminds me of my Matchbox service garage for my Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars I received for Christmas back in the 80’s! I played with corvettes then…now I’m driving my own (but I wouldn’t mind playing cars again). Great show guys!

[@frankiebar]

Enjoy the trip!

[@drewpackard6646]

Mr. Conti and Chuck Tech Tuesdays are always informative!! Thanks Tadge for all the Year's at GM!! Keep up the fantastic work Rick and Chuck!! 👍🏽

[@Vetteguy80]

Does the transmission problem include Z06s?

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Yes sir

[@margaretmesacortez2421]

Hi everyone from Bowling Green!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@margaretmesacortez2421]

Such a wonderful video Rick!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@TrackSpeed815]

Thanks Tadge, you will be missed! Rick, awesome job on the classy tribute.

[@larrynewberry3500]

Great ending for a tribute to a great man and the great department he was the head of. Thanks, Tadge. Thank you, Rick and Chuck.

[@terrywalsh331]

Very nice tribute to Tadge!

[@melnolan9885]

Hello Rick and Chuck I live in Ireland and have RHD C8 which I bought in the UK. The dealer is asking for $1300 for the first service at 7000mls. I was always under the impression that the first service was free. Is there a GM bulletin that states this?

[@JD-xg3ek]

Rick you have to get a picture with your plate and Tadge. Looking at all the picture you show he appears to be a personable kind of guy. I will bet he will take a minute to take a picture with you. Good luck and have fun at the bash.

[@matthewklug7679]

Bring back the manual! At least make it an option.

[@timobermeyer4362]

This was a great episode and a terrific tribute to Tadge. Tadge created a great piece of machinery. He deserves a well deserved vacation (retirement).

[@BluEyeDevil1]

You Guys are to funny.

[@cas5247]

You should be thanking Big Jim Slade!

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Who? I owe a lot to Jim Perkins as well

[@odfarmboy]

So anyone who has one of those emergency keys can unlock anyone’s vette?

[@davidsterling5448]

Chuck give Rick a brake !!

[@jimhazlett305]

I just had a flat tire on my '19 GS out in the middle of nowhere ! Limped it over 100 miles to a dealer in Henderson Nv.

[@RobertBabb-mm8xy]

New ZR1 supercharged AND turbocharged? Let the comments begin! It's "possible" in my opinion...#TheUnthinkable

[@RainKemperman]

Good evening to all! 💙🧜‍♀️

[@MrKalrich]

Rick…if and when Chuck ever installs your Carbotech 1521 pads😂, are you replacing rotors also. If so, which ones? I will be very interested in your feedback after some use as I’m looking to take advantage of your “Contibrake” discount. All the best to you and Chuck.

[@MarkVV045]

Idk “ HOW “ we can CONTINUOUSLY Be Having THESE PROBLEMS !? 😠

[@Gary-rz4lu]

I’m sure if you offer the caps and t shirts for sale on your site you will sell a ton of them Count me in!! 24 riptide blue

[@nikosky4028]

I have a 2022 stingray z51 the dealership told me not to add the 2 additional quarts its only for track use but i don't track it. Is that true not to add the 2 quarts?

[@stevepen]

No

[@nikosky4028]

@@stevepen thank you for the reply. Do you think it's best to add 2 quarts of trans fluid?

[@stevepen]

@@nikosky4028 Yes, I have a '22 as well and added the 2 extra quarts and I don't track it. More fluid will dissipate more heat and maintain its viscosity longer. That is why its needed for track use but spirited driving can be similar so less heat and more viscosity will make the trans last longer. I mean if your literally driving the speed limit all of the time and not getting on it then there's no need but still wouldn't hurt.

[@nikosky4028]

@stevepen thank you so much your help is mu h appreciate. I do like to drive on track mode sometimes cause it sounds so nice with the shifts and exhaust. Thank you again.

[@17forever64]

What the hell, more transmission issues? I thought just changing filter would fix it ? What a crock. Lemon law that 85k piece of crap.

[@bradmarking9106]

Caliper,Chuck

[@johnultimate1161]

Out of the 2024 C8 owners manual: Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) Fluid The transmission fluid and external canister filter should be changed after every 24 hours of track use. Change the fluid and external canister filter as soon as possible if prompted by the transmission fluid life monitor that remaining fluid life is low. With the transmission at factory fluid fill, there is no additional fluid needed for track usage. Any transmission level set or change should be performed at your dealer.

[@lawrencebeeson9160]

Hint on the secret word: something Chuck won't be touching on Rick's car today😂😂😂

[@michaelmanley8046]

My Vote is in: Tadg for president and rick Conti for vice president! 😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@mrwhite2628]

I didn't watch the video because you guys talk too much without saying anything. Maybe next time.

[@Maximum1A]

What a great Tadge Tribute! Thanks Rick 👍👍
