Default Any interest in custom stainless steel weighted shift **** for the C5?

We started out as a stainless steel shift **** company about 6-7 years ago. We just recently joined this forum as a vendor as we now sell most performance brands out there.

Over the past few years we have had numerous requests for a weighted stainless steel shift ****. We do not currently make one that fits the C5 yet as it uses an odd thread size.

If there is demand we can make a batch to fit the C5 Corvette.


All of our stainless steel shift ***** are made in the U.S.A.

Finished by hand.

Weighted

Made from 316 stainless steel.

Available in a brushed stainless finish or many different powder coated finishes.

Here are some pictures of other shift ***** we have made.

Those look great, I'm sure some other members would like them. Price?

Make them out of Delrin with a weighted stainless core. Nobody likes ice cold and burning hot shift *****.

And wrong shift pattern for the T56.

I assume that the pictured ***** are generic-or for another transmission. And that the C5 ***** will have the correct shift pattern for the T56.

Thanks. Pricing on the brushed stainless steel are $71.99 shipped

Powder coated finishes are usually $10 extra

Engravings are about $27 extra.

I have not made any for the C5 yet. Pictures are of shift ***** I have made.

As for getting hot/cold. That can happen but never been an issue for me. The powder coated finishes help out with that a lot as well if worried about it.

Nice - but in hot climates like Arizona or Texas - heat would be an issue.

Great looking shift *****. Wish a vendor would come out with some offerings for an A4 tranny that didn't require an adapter.

I've lived in FL and now NC and always used a stainless shift ****. Never gotten too hot to touch at all. Powder coated finish makes it stay much cooler as well. Cold climates they can get cold but warm up in about 30 seconds of use.
We've sold tens of thousands of them for other cars and VERY rarely had anyone say they got too hot or cold for them to use. Those that park in the sun in say Arizona, if you just put something over the **** it won't get hot at all.
