Does anyone know if a C6 six speed shift **** fits on the C5? I just liked the way the new **** looks and was thinking of getting one for my C5.

does not fit, i like it more too. some place (not for sure where) but mods them to fit.

get the C6 shifter . You will be pleasantly suprised. It has a wonderfull feel to it, not the short rigid movement of a Hurst or B&M, but rather a smooth flow like the C5 but even smoother. It seems more precise is the best way I can explain it. Also carries a much lower profile. I'm sorry to say that I didnt do it when I first saw other C5 owners doing it a year ago. But better late than never

I do too ! ! ! I have been tossing around the idea of placing the entire C6 shifter in mine, but I am not sure if it will fit.....

it will... I ordered the C6 Z06 shifter for mine from Gene@FredBeans and it works great! I even had it recovered by VE to match my interior...

i think its gs creations that makes a c6 **** thats threaded to fit a c5. do a search. thats how i found mine.

Gs Creation does make a C6 shift that fits a C5. I have a B&M shifter and two days I go I installed the C6 shift **** on it. It took 4 min. to install. Looks and feels great. This is just the **** not the shift unit.
They sell on Ebay, here is the link

If you get the shifter you won't be disappointed.

CULOOKIN's setup is perfect...looks factory all the way....I think I will order it as well. Does anyone have the part number for fred beans? Want to see thier price compared to the ebay guy....

How much is the C6 unit going for? Is it also a short throw like the Ripper or Hurst?

From what i understand the regular C6 shifter doesn't reduce the throws much. You want the C6 Z06 shifter. Fred Beans sells a "kit" that includes the shifter and **** for around $200 shipped. I got it, but haven't installed it yet.

fits better than a glove. But its not a DIY, atleasts not for me. I think there is a prefab that you have to do but many CF members have done it. I had 21CMC do it when they were putting in an oil cooler. I luv it!

Do you have the part number for the kit? I have tried to search fred beans but can't find it.

Nothing like a Ripper or Hurst. Those are very rigid shifts. I'm sure thereis a benefit but
the rigidity is not for me. The C6 is a slightly shorter throw than the C5 but is even smoother. And I like the low profile.

If you go to Fred Beans I think you need to type in "c6z06shifter" on the part search.

Ordered assembly from Beans, Now looking for new boot...Gene recommended "Vette essentials"...any other suggestions?

I got my boot from www.redlinegoods.com who are forum sponsors. They can make you a custom C5 boot that fits the C6 ****.

I ended up getting from VE. Really like what I saw....Now just a waiting game for everything to get here...

Exactly why i got it. Go test drive a new C6 to get the feel for it, thats what i did.. lol The throw is probably 30% less than the stock C5 unit, if i had to guess, and like he said its alot smoother and about an inch or so shorter. I got a used C6 shifter on this forum for $80 shipped, ordered an aftermarket **** for $50, and sold my old one on here for $35.
