Default New T-shifter

Thanks Stu, the Shifter is awesome. It has OOH YEAH engraved on it. After I install it I'll post some pixs. If you are looking for a shifter that is made just for you check out Stu's vette.com you won't be disappointed .

I'll be wanting a report on it's functionality. Just posted a shifter/tranny/clutch type thread with potential serious issues.

Ironically, I was in the market for an after market shifter long before this issue with my car

Please keep us posted on the functionality

I used to have a T-handle many years ago in a car of mine when I was younger but must say they just look out of place in the C5 cockpit. Just my opinion and not a flame.

Stu shipped mine last Friday. I will post a photo later this week.

Everyone has their own tastes. If you don't like it . . . . don't buy it.

This is fantastic
I have been through several different *****. Never could find something I liked driving around town and could still use at the drags. I had to keep switching them around for the particular purpose. In my younger days I had a "T" shifter by Hurst. I always wished I could find one but figured they were just not out there.
I just sent Stu an e-mail for order. Thanks so much for posting.

Of course yours will have the integral neon tube

You know it always comes back to that. Just wait for the Photoshop from Zilla
