1997-2004 C5 Corvette with M6 or M12 manual transmissions
 
1997-2004 C5 Corvette with 4L60-E automatic transmission
 
The problem of differential case fracture, transmission case breakage and driveline deflection during hard acceleration on the street, road course or drag strip is a common, inherent problem with the C5 Corvette that often shears the differential away from the attachment point at the transmission.
The DTE Strut Brace adds strength without adding weight. The M6/M12 models only weigh approx. 19.7 lbs and the A4 model weighs approx. 18.4 lbs.
Each bracket is manufactured using laser-cut, 3/8" thick tempered steel for durability and exact fit. The adjustable strut rods are manufactured of stainless steel and are 9/16" in diameter for strength, while still being lightweight. We also utilize HD, steel-ball Heim joints at both ends for ease of assembly and strut rod durability. All threaded mounting holes deeply threaded to increase thread engagement and surface area for strength.
Complete Kit Includes:
- 3-piece differential girdle bracket set w/ strut rod mounting blocks (pre-welded)
- 2-piece transmission bell housing bracket set w/ strut rod mounting blocks
- 4 stainless steel adjustable main strut rods w/ integral "hex" machined into the rod
- 8 HD steel-ball, Heim joints
- 1 stainless steel cross-strut rod
- Hardened grade 8 fasteners, studs, washers and related hardware
- Powder coated red or black finish
- Detailed instructions w/ installation photos
- DTE decals
- Lifetime warranty
The entire kit is easily installed or removed while using a lift or jack stands while the driveline is in the car for either model. Lowering of the sub-frame is necessary for easier access to the M6/M12/A4 transmission brackets and is designed to be a true, bolt-on installation kit that can be installed in a few hours using regular, commonly found metric/SAE hand tools. There is also no driveline vibration/noise resonated into the passenger compartment/cabin of any kind and interior sound levels are unaffected from O.E.M.
