Default Any C-4 Automatic Shifter *****?

Topic says it all... preferably for an 84. I can find plenty for the C-5. BTW, not OEM style... maybe a more custom/fancier style.

The only ones I've ever seen are in Zip, Mid America, Ecklers, ... Stock look, but in either a wood finish are a carbon fiber finish. I would like to see one of those brushed metal finish ***** with the automatic ****, like they have listed for the C5, for a C4.

Is it true that the manual shift ***** for the C5 will also fit the C4 manual shifter?

For automatics??? I thought of buying a **** and carving it out for the button. One company sells an adaptor that lets you mount manual ***** on automatics. The whole **** depresses, instead of a button. The catch is, you can't get the adaptor without buying a C5 logo ****. It costs over 100 bucks. The manufacturer won't let distributors sell the adaptor by itself. :(

I have a carbon fiber one that is not stock style, I will try to take a pic of it and post it tomorrow. There are lots of companies that make aftermarket shift *****, you can go to a search engine like Hotbot of Yahoo and type in Corvette automatic shift *****. I found quite a few that way. Good luck in your search.

I was about to release an adaptor that would do this without having to buy the $90-100 C5 **** and it would cost about 1/2 the price.....I found out another vendor will be releasing the same thing within about 3 weeks....look for it shortly :D :cheers:

That's great news. Then we can use Flameballs, or any **** we want. :yesnod: One question....is the shift lever the same in both C5's and C4's? If so, great. If not, I guess we C4 guys gotta keep lookin'. :(

You can convert a C5 aftermarket auto shifter sold here from some of the vendors. Then add any shift **** you want. It costs about 100 for the C5 shifter kit though. I would be very interested in a $30 conversion kit, hope they will be out soon, the flameballs are way too cool.

That's just what I wanted to hear. When I talked to the vendor last year, he wasn't sure if the adaptor would work in a C4. Glad to hear it does. :cool:
