Default C6 Zo6 Shifter Install

Hey guys,

I had a quick question. My 07 C6ZO6 shifter should be arriving tomorrow and I think it comes as a full assembly not just the shifter that bolts on with the four bolts. My question is what do you torque the bolts to that go into the torque tube? Do you need to torque them to any specific ft/lbs or do you just use lock tight and get them as tight as possible?

Here is a pic to show you guys what I'm talking about:

Thanks guys,
Harshil

I referenced my Hurst install within it which gives you the torque specs.

Thanks Patches

I actually took this picture from your C6 shifter install write-up. I didn't know that the torque specs were on the hurst install.

Thanks again,
Harshil

Patches,

I needed the torque specs for the two torx bolts that go into the torque tube. In the hurst install it has the specs for the four bolts that directly go through the shifter base. Do you know what you tightened the two torx bolts to on the torque tube when you installed the full shifter assembly?

Thanks,
Harshil

The shift rod clamp bolt is also torqued to 22 lb. ft.
