Default shift *****

Im looking at getting a Momo shift ****. Is there certains ones that fit and do not fit, or is it kind of a universal thing where one size fits all?

Momo's are a universal design, in other words they will mount to the stick in a C4. The biggest problem I have read here is that they make the shifter taller which in turn makes the throw even further and if you use a Mome you should use a short throw shifter or plan on cutting the stick down a little.

Exactly right. The Momos tend to be tall. With the stock shifter you can hit the dash with your hand when you shift into 3rd. Put a Hurst on and life is good. :D

It depends on which **** you buy. I just bought the all chrome aluminum sport **** and it sits a little lower than the stock one. But when I put it on the chrome peeled right off. I called the guy at LTB Motorsports where I bought it and he said momo had a bad batch of chrome. I'm sending it back for one that "supposedly" won't peel. We'll see. But it definitely looks nice!! (The parts with the chrome of course! :D )
