I wanted to let everyone know that member PJinNJ sent me his brand new C6 shifter for absolutely nothing and even paid the shipping. What an unbelievable thing for someone to do. Most people wouild have charged $200 plus. I hope, some day, I can return the favor. He told me to just give him a nice "thattaboy" on the forum. Thanks again P!!!!!!!
P.S.- I am going to install this morning and will let everyone know how it is.

Tom

Very cool, this is an amazing community. I have to admit I'm a bit jealous. Anyone else feeling generous with their shifter?

That is a very cool thing for him to do. Hope you get the shifter installed with no problems.

I installed the C6 shifter today and took it out for a short spin. It is much better than stock. Shorter throws, smoother and the handle fits nicely in my hand. Also, the leather on the handle matches close enough you can't tell the difference. It is a worthwhile mod in my opinion.
