Leaky C6 Kickdown Shaft
I have an annoying leak coming from the kickdown shaft on my C6. Does this shaft have an externally accessable seal on it or is it something done from the inside? An exploded view on this would be awsome. Thanks.

The KD shaft has an "O" ring that can be replaced from the outside.
Hold the lever, remove the 1/2" nut then remove the lever.
The "O" ring can be picked out using a sharp object.
Do not let the shaft get pushed inside.
Replace the "O" ring, install the lever, tighten the nut.
Do not allow the lever to move while tighteneing the nut, the inner lever is welded to the shaft and can be broken.
If the manual lever seal is leaking the valve body must be removed to repair this.
