Default bought the derlin shift ****

I love the feel over the stock shifter much better feel and much more accurate shifts. I have to say the thread inside that screws on is plastic and grinded down when i put it on, It doesn't lock in place where a metal or aluminum one would you can keep turning it and it just keeps threading itself, so that is my only complaint other than that great feel! i would get the billet or aluminum one instead

It is great. I had one on my previous Z06, and I am ordering the new billet version. It is great, because if lowers the shifter height and makes the shift throws shorter.

It's great in the summer too. Never to hot to handle.

The one I have has a aluminum sleeve inside it so it gets tight.
