I get it.. And I have done the same in the past. I had my Z06 in for service. Make them walk the car and always bring it in clean and perfect. The service writer acknowledges it all.. But it only passes thru his hands to others who aren't aware of the anal owner and could care less. That was for a leaking tranny tail shaft.. You are talking about replacing a part with the same part known to have the same issues. Waste of time, resources and increased risk of other issues..
