Default New Delrin shift **** design

Well, we have been making the Hardbar delrin shifter **** for about 10 years now, and never let it be said that I am not open to suggestions. One customer wanted it longer than the normal length we make. So, I made a few extra just in case for the threaded C4-C5 shifter and the smooth shaft C6 style. I decided what the heck, I have it, so why not try it. Guess what, I like it! It is like a variable rate shifter in that if you want it to have low force you push and pull it towards the top, and if you want minimum travel like an aftermarket short shifter, you have that as well, but using it lower. Same price as the normal one in our catalog, just let us know if you want the long one. I am keeping this one for me!

Gary, Penskes are still great

I have the "breathless shifter" for the C6 with the stock **** on it now sitting higher than stock with their mod with the hole in the shaft to accomodate the stock C6 ****.

it is threaded for the C5 and sits a little higher than stock..would the C5 "normal" delrin **** drop the height?

Yes, because you wrap you had around this rather than on top.
