I meant to say the Bushings first and then the gears.

What I am saying is that in the 12 years I have owned various Corvettes (mostly C4's and 1 C5) It is 90% of the time the bushings, 10% the gears and never the actual motor itself. As a matter of fact, all the C4 bushings have been replaced in my C4's probably done it 6 times or 3 full cars.
One time it was a gear too!

Your experiences might be different but my friend and mechanic said he has maybe replaced one motor in his life.

So crack it open and I think you will find a problem with the bushings, gears or possibly both but most likely not the motor itself.

The motor is pretty heavy duty.
