Otherwise sounds like you're trying to fit a round peg in a square hole.

C6 shift **** on C5 questions
I ordered this from GS creations and it just looks like it would push on, say a C6 shift handle. Its not threaded like a C5 handle, but I went a head and forced it on making threads anyway. I've been thinking they sent me one for a C6 instead. Can anyone help me out on this one?

That was quick. I understand the round peg...
I was just tired of burning my hand with the other shifter that was on there. It was something new and I wanted it on, ever get that itch. Its smooth inside and has a notch at the end looking into it that looks like it would snap into a slot or something. I'll take a pic tomorrow...
Oh and I have a ripper, no thanks on the C6 shifter.

Just so we're not paying for something custom 
What does the C6 handle look like? This looks like a direct fit to something, nothing custom. I'm gonna check prices of a shifter handle from Gm tomorrow.

You did exactly what you need to do. Push it all the way down and then turn it, making your own threads. I was about to return mine when GS Creations pointed me towards the directions on their website. There was supposed to be a slip of paper in the packaging with the website but it wasn't there on mine. Here is the link that was sent to me:
