tstar - thanks for the detail!

So, this shorter detent bolt makes the shifting less stiff?

So, no tips on where to go in SF Bay Area to talk to competent Corvette service people?

Thanks!
Jim

Most guys just remove the bolt and install one or two washers behind it. The bolt is on the passenger side of transmission. You cannot see it but if you reach up toward top of trans on passenger side about mid ways of transmission you will feel a bolt going in side of trans. It is a 15/16 or 24mm, either size works, bolt and you just take it out. No fluid will come out and no spring to fly around either. I used two of the 13/16th copper drain plug washers on mine. About 1/16th total thickness with both washers. Just place them on bolt and tighten bolt back up again. That's it...
nice read thanks for pics also sent pm thanks

Yep. less stiff. It was still a bit stiff as I stated earlier so I cut the Ripper's centering springs down about 1.5 turns. But that is just personal taste, do the washer mod first and see how you like it...
