a 20% shorter throw sounds pretty good. does your car shift easier and smoother now? did this help with the so called Notchiness of the stock shifter?
what kind of amsoil did you use, I've never looked at them, so I don't know if there are different types. do you know if its safe for a 99? apparently royal purple isn't a good choice for a 99 because it eats the seals, so I want to make sure I get something which will not ruin my tranny!

I had a Hurst and felt the same way. Then I bought the C6Z06 shifter. It's smoother, but the shifts are REALLY long compared to the Hurst. It took me a while to adjust. I'm not thrilled with the shifter, but I actually really like the C6 ****. MTI's 6-Shooter was supposedly the best combination of throw and smoothness, but they pulled them after about half the owners complained about rattles. They're supposedly redesigning them, but it's been months now and every time I call down there I get the runaround.

C6 Z06 shifter is the only way to go. bolts on in about a half hour. perfect fit and height. I love mine and it was only about $180. You can use your stock shifter boot if you cut about 1/2 inch to an inch off it and zip tie it on the inside

I should see if I could feel one and try shifting it. the reason I don't like the C6 shifter once I found out more about it are that it isn't strait, I think a bent shifter would feel strange to shift. and the ****, which has nothing to do with feel or performance, I just think it looks out of place in the C5, it doesn't match the interior lines at all.
do you have any detailed info on the anti-venom mod? searches seem to turn up a bunch of threads which say there is a thread out there with step by step pictures, but no one knows where it is.

BPP Round Stick Shift **** C6
http://www.moranoracing.com/bpprostshknc.htm
Anyone know anything more about the link above regarding this shift ****. I tried emailing the company, but they do not respond. I have an 08 Coupe and wanted to just change the ****, not the shifter... I can't find a website that has ***** for the C6 Coupe except for the different color *****. I am looking for something WITHOUT the "shift numbers" on the ****....
Anyone? Photos with links on where to purchase would be TRULY appreciated!!

Yes, the effort is high and the shifts are super-short, BUT a solution is 20 minutes away. Simply remove the ball detent fitting that is threaded into the tranny case, and space it it out approx .07 - .01-inch, using a copper washer. The result? Much easier shifts (up and down) with the same super-short-throws. You get the best of both worlds and the added cost is about $3.00 or less.
