Driveline Support Assembly: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette and 2002 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition key must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
WARNING:
When removing or installing the driveline support assembly, ensure vehicle is sufficiently supported when removing or adding components from the rear of the vehicle due to weight transfer.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow the proper removal and installation procedures may result in damage to the engine crankshaft thrust bearing. When lowering and removing the rear of the driveline, observe the clearance between the rear of the transaxle assembly and the underbody to prevent damage.
CAUTION:
When tilting down the rear of the driveline, observe the clearance between the rear of the engine and the composite dash panel. See Figure. DO NOT allow the engine to rest unsupported against the composite dash panel, or vehicle damage may result.
