You should be able to installit yourself if you have mechanical ability.

I have a MGW ST on my C5, but I don't really care for it much. It's choppy and catchy.

I've got a B&M and it is notchy and a bit stiff, but very quick. A lot quicker than I'll ever need. A good road race shifter for me but would make a better drag shifter. Took some getting used to but I like it better than that Freightliner shifter that was in there!

I agree. No wonder GM insisted on getting a 6spd into the vette. Wanted the extra speeds to go with the 18-wheeler shifter feel!

I bought a Hurst short shifter from a forum member and I love it.

It offers a smooth short throw and it's fast.
