That looks pretty good.

I have avoided metal shift ***** in the past because of the heat/burn.
I wonder if the leather wrap on this **** removes that issue?

I think what he meant was that they were going to make that type of **** (C5 style), but with the C4 pattern. At least that is the way I read it! :yesnod:

I just had a strange thought. Is my transmission ana fter market upgrade? My reverse gear is the right of 6th gear, not fifth. I have a 1996 LT4 CE, I believe it's a german company that makes the transmission, "Z" or "Zi" I can't remeber. ANyone know about this?

The ZF is the factory C4 6-speed. The shift pattern in the pictured **** is for a C5 Tremec T56.

I'm not very fond of the new **** above, as I prefer simpler styles... but, it's cool to see more C4 ***** on the market.

No your not; I like them too. I have considered changing the pedals though.

I liked the stock **** too, but once I tried a good aftermarket one, I wouldn't go back. The round one I have now is more smooth and comfortable (no stitches against my palm) and the extra mass makes shifting more effortless. :) I wasn't expecting either...

Not interested. Those dont match any other part of the interior of my car.

I think those are fugly and belong in a Honda. My honest opinion.

Not until I get one with orange lettering like the rest of my car interior will i be interested.

diz,
Get a black Hurst **** and paint the pattern orange yourself. It's very easy to do.....
