Yep, I have the special muffler bearing grease in a tub behind the counter. You need to ask for Joe, and use the password "Slimey"
It's not just for breakfast anymore!
Hey Ken, I need some of the muffler grease. I can't get my 80 to burn out anymore. I smoked the tires down to the nub....the retreads I put on them work great, but I can't get them to stay on when I lite er up. I think the grease is just what I need. Also, I think I finally found the zirk for the muffler bearings. It is mounted right next to where the engineers hid the wiper control module! Also, I found the reservoir for the clorox. Mine was empty so I filled er up. Works great now. Smoke em if you got em!

All good repairs. Excellent.
But instead of muffler bearing grease, try antitransmission fluid. By using antitransmission (instead of transmission) fluid, you don't transfer the traction from the tire to the ground. The lack of transmission causes the tires to spin, resulting in a burn out! For a Corvette I recommend AntiDextron II. Just add it to the Clorex jug.

As a transmission guy, I must make you aware of the ban on "Antitransmission fluid". It has been outlawed in the U.S. by the Gov. because of pending littigation involving loss of control issues. It seems the Antitransmission fluid is being soaked up into the tire treads,transfering through the axles into the diff., and from the diff. travelling up the driveshaft into the trans, where the problem rears it's ugly head. The antitransmission properties of this fluid eat away at the fasteners for the trans, allowing the trans to fall out of the vehicle,whereby the driver drives over the trans,rupturing the tires, and losing control of the vehicle. I must say please use with caution!!!!

Actualy, it is (was) a well known secret in the trans business for many,many years. Antitransmission fluid is an additive that we put in every unit. It absolutely guarantees that the trans will ONLY last for the warranty period. I like to call it "Job security"!! Sometimes the installers put a little too much in, and I have to do repairs under warranty, and sometimes they forget to put in any, and the thing lasts forever!! I NEVER put it in my own vehicles, or those of my friends.(Relatives are a diff. matter)!!!

make sure you replace the flux capacitor also.. using a worn FC could cause unreliable results when you hit 88 mph
