Default C3 Shifter upgrade
Hey, I was wondering what shifters everyone has upgraded to? Yes, I searched.

It's just too easy to overshift with the factory one. I'm wanting to retro-fit a Hurst Quarter Stick into the console on my '79. Here's a video of what I'm hoping it will look like (but in a Vette...)

Does anyone know if a Quarter Stick or any other "performance" shifter will work in a factory console?

I think any of them will require some fabrication. Shouldn't be too hard though I plan to put a ratchet style shifter in soon
