shift **** question
Has anybody out there tried to mount a c5 oem style shift **** in their c4? I really like the look of the c5 ****. A carbon fiber version would look great in my black interior...or if the silver version could be painted to match the exterior of my coupe...hmmm.
Anybody have any info on adapting it?

- the thread patterns are the same for the manual on a C-4 or C-5
9/16 x 18 (metric)
Check with EPCO (search the net) - they have a number of different adaptors available my friend.

sorry....it's a 6spd. The only thing that might make me hesitate is if it ends up being too tall once its mounted. Guess I could always re-sell it if it doesn't look right.

For shortening the "throws" of a shifter refer to this from mid - america.
The manual transmission shift ***** have many kits allowing changes of the **** between metric and standard threading. You have to look for the kits.

my Hurst places the pivot point higher making the lower portion "throw shorter" due to it being longer.Short throw shifters are a waste, they don't help you shift any quicker, but that's a whole 'nother story.
