Default MGW Shift **** Question

Will the MGW gripper shift **** fit on a c5 z06 shifter? Are the thread sizes compatible?

In other words will this

Screw onto a C5Z06 shifter without modifications?

Thank you

Sorry, I don't know.

But I hope someone else chimes in, b/c that 6spd **** they sell is just what I've been looking for.

I wonder if MGW is making a shifter for the 'Vette yet? They supposedly make the ULTIMATE Mustang shifter. Everyone on the forums RAVE about them!!!! I have a Steeda, so don't know how their shifter works.

I have the same one from WCC. It is a direct thread with a set screw to hold it in place. Installation is a no-brainer.

It's a good looking shift **** and it is much easier to grip than the Delrin I previously had on there. My only gripe was I only wish the grip surface was more "imitation leather" and less "actual plastic"... something I would expect for a $70 ****.

Overall, I'm satisfied with it ... looks great with the Hurst SS

MGW no longer makes shift ***** for the Corvette. Best **** in the business but GM put a stop to it. The **** for the Mustang shifter will not fit a Corvette shifter as they have a different thread pattern.
