Default Where to get a C6 shifter?

Anyone know a good place I can buy a C6 shifter set up for my 2000 coupe? Any comments on the install and whether or not you like it? Also considering a MTI Six Shooter, but I hear the C6 set ups are easy to install and pretty nice. Thanks.

Installation is really easy. I just put one in a friends '04. He has a bad shoulder and he loves it.

I could very well be stupid, but I can't for the life of me find the C6 shifter on that site. Can anyone help?

If you can't find it on their site, just give them a call. They are very helpful and will set you right up.

How about a thread in the C6 parts for sale/wanted section? I would think there are plenty available from people who have changed them out.

Hi All,
Thank you for the plug. You can find it on our site @ www.fredbeansparts.com by clicking where it says click here to enter part number search. Use part number c6z06shifter for the kit with the shifter **** and bolt. Then you're good to go.

Thanks,
Gene.

Fairly easy. This is a thread that I used to install mine, courtesy of CF member Patches.
