What year is your C4 ?
Definitely worth getting a shop manual, they are year specific. There is one for sale for an 84 i have seen.
They come as 2 books, you need both. You can get them digitally as well.

Hi Steven,
Shes an 1989. Sold through Kelly Hollywood Chevrolet dealer in Miami Florida. Still got the Miami Ventura Boulevard Parking pass in the window.
I love the (hand drawn) drawings in your workshop manual.- i think they are just great. I used the images you posted today to get the torques right so thank you so much. I have made contact with so many lovely super people though this car.
She's going for an MOT next Wednesday. There's still a slight slight movement, in the back wheel but ive got a rubber for the rear dog bone member (which is the next thing to try for that.)

Is that a greenwood body kit ?
My one is an 86 so the torque settings should be the same.
I will keep a look out for an 89 shop manual.

Back in the late 1980s I worked for GM engineering, so used to swap new Corvettes about every 1 to 2 years
Cannot recall if it was 1987 or 1989 was the first year of the ZF MN6 6 speed manual
I did not have the car 1 month and was drag racing and broke second gear in half :-(
GM was not too happy with me as they had marketed the ZF as a rock crusher

Yea, I was in the dog house for a bit with GM engineering
Second gear had broken in 2 pieces, but that helped ZF in making a design change
The race event I was doing at Texas Motorplex drag strip, hot weather
They made it so you staged at the tree, crossed the traps and then used the cool down distance after that
and made a U turn, raced back to the tree and then made a sharp U turn around the tree and back down the track
I downshifted to second when doing the tree U turn and that is when second gear exploded :-(
