I sold off my 2009 C6 Z06 recently, so I don't really need this manual set for any reason. Never had any reason to use them, as the extended warranty on my car expired not too long before I sold it,...

I know this may sound pretty dumb, but any chance I made that input shaft stub TOO smooth? Wouldn't be the first time I over thought something and got myself in hot water because of it. :(

Torque tube input shaft remachined?

OK, maybe I am just too picky to be healthy. I have my C5Z06 torn apart in a shop waiting for a new clutch, and because of the pilot bushing going bad (yes, bushing, not bearing), I'm thinking...

Yeah, I do believe going with the pilot bushing instead of a pilot bearing was an error in judgement on my part. Looks like I will need a TT input shaft too, and TT bearings for good measure.
