First, I would suggest you find a competent mechanic, maybe the Porsche or Mercedes shops like you are currently planning to do, but ask them if they would be willing to contact the true experts in LT5s for any techniques for certain servicing, diagnostic and other issues they might run across, like Marc Haibeck, Pete, Steve or any of the others well known on this forum. Second, get a copy of a factory service manual for your year car if you don't already have one. When you take the car in, always provide it to the mechanic. If you can develop a good relationship with someone who would be willing to ask questions of the experts when he doesn't truly know the answer, you will likely be in good shape. --Bob
