Question on installing CT-E short throw

Hey all,
I had a quick question because I'm going to be putting in this short throw, but in the directions it states to apply the locktight to the new shifter part. All that is fine but the directions say it takes 10 minutes to set, and another 24 to 48 to cure all the way. My question is can I still drive the car during the 24 to 48 hr period, or is it a hands off affair until the 36 hrs is done? Thanks for the help

I allowed mine like 30 minutes to cure, and was light with it after putting it back in and driving around.
The set screws should minimize the movement.

That's what I was thinking, but I just wanted to make sure, and since it will make more sense when I'm in the thick of it.
