RSD Snap Shifter Install - HELP
So I just bought an RSD Snap Shifter (its basically a c6z shifter thats cut a little shorter. The unit also replaces the stock shift box.
There instructions are very lacking, 3 pages of vague pictures. Does anyone have a more detailed write-up for removing the shifter and shift box?

Here is an easy to follow for removal & install.
Go to the RPM Transmission add that is to the left of this page, & click on. Once there click onto Links/Files. Once there click onto Corvette shifter box adj.
TIPS: I like to use a rag between the torx bolt head & torx bit. This will make for a snug fit, & keep from "buggering" up the head of the bolts.
The one bolt that attaches the trans shift rod will have red loc tite & will be hardest of the 3 to remove. I like to put a little heat on the head of that one bolt with a small pen torch & then use a wet rag in between the bolt head & bit.
By the way I really like the shifter you chose.
Good luck.

I am sorry to hear the instructions did not fill the bill. The 2 mounting bolts and the coupler "squeeze bolt" all require 22 "lbs when you retighten. Use Loct-tite red on the coupler squeeze bolt, blue on the mounting bolts. Remember to lock the locking pin on your stocker before your lossen any bolts. Make sure all three bolts are re-tightened beefore you unlock the new shift box.
Thanks Bob for helping out.
