NOTE: The following steps are to install the optional spacer and
washer that is provided in the kit. A much more solid shifting feel
is obtained if installing the provided spacer and washer because
it replaces the much softer stock bushings. These steps are not
necessary on Z06 model vehicles as it is already solid mounted.
IMPORTANT: The installation of the spacer and washer will
transmit more noise and vibration than the softer rubber bush-
ings. If a quieter and less vibration transmitting shift quality is
preferred over a more solid and direct shift feel, then DO NOT
proceed with these optional (A-F) installation steps.
