Rebuilt tranny and found rear spring issues - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

JSad · 11-01-2020

When I bought my white 1991 ZR-1 #210 a couple years ago it was a rescue of a pretty abused car. It was running and drivable when I bought it but needs much TLC. I am slowly getting it back into shape. Engine work is done (stock) and I have completed some other miscellaneous issues. One of the problems was the syncros 1st to 2nd.

I just had the transmission rebuilt by the local shop I use, Pinnacle Performance. They did a fantastic job on the rebuild and I had them do the rear main seal, new clutch, fidenza flywheel, add ZF Docs short shifter and beam plates, then replaced the resonator with an x-pipe and added Haibeck's chip.

Love the results...but...as I was crawling around underneath admiring the work, I noticed my rear spring is cracked and delaminating. So, next project is to replace it. My questions are, does someone offer a "kit" with everything I need, and what else should/could I do while replacing it?
