    A friend of mine wants me to help him do some basic maintenance on his C4 vette (still waiting on the exact model year.) A few questions, if you can answer or just point me towards a good resource I would appreciate it:

    1: he wants to change the gear oil in the tranny. Anything tricky about it? On my Miata its so easy a caveman could do it. 2: fuel filter. Do I need a special tool or does it just use hose clamps? Is it somewhere stupid, or will Rhino Ramps be sufficient to get at it? 3: the fuel gauge and speedometer don't work or work erratically (he wasn't very clear on this.) Any common problems to look for?

    Thanks in advance.

    I've had some good luck with the technical knowledge on the Corvette forum:
