Well, the piece came and I got it installed. The lack of working/wiggle room for a fat old man added some time to the install. I also used the Ranger method to replace the clutch fluid as long as I...

I also have an 05 and my coolant temp runs between 200 - 220 depending on the temperature outside and the speed I'm driving. Yours does seem a bit on the cool side.

New (to me) C6 and key won't fit question

After about 15 years of owning a 1985 vette, I jumped 20 years ahead to a 2005 vert. So far I LOVE it! The technological advances from 1985 and the increased performance are mind boggling. :willy:...
