I'm gonig to look at a 2000 WS6 tomorrow what do i need to know as far as problem with them? I'm new to LS1's. I have a modded LT1 and know pretty much everything about LT1's...so i know to look for slow window motors, and headlight motors and other little stuff like that but what can i look for on this 2000 WS6. It's got 54,000 miles on it and it's a 6 speed. Did the LS1's have any problems with tranny's? Any info would be great. A link or something would help too like a buyers guide or something! Thanks in advance!

 

Im in the same boat as you lookin at some ls1s but for the most part, hit every switch and make sure everything works. Make sure the a/c blows cold or they better bargain down cuz those aint cheap to fix. Make sure the clutch doesn't chatter. Look carefully for misaligned panels which could indicate frame damage/accident damage.

 

Yea I know the basics of car buying just trying to find out what normal problems with ls1's are and what to look for specifically when buying a LS1.

 

Piston slap is one common occurance on these, however, I'm told its nothing really to worry about. Mine's got it

 

listen for any wierd groans or noises coming from the rear end or tranny
