Default Looking for a C5 ball type shifter

Hye guys, I am replacing my stock shifter for a BP one next week and I'm looking for a new shift ****. Im looking for a small ball type ****, something similar to the one pictured, but with the thread pitch for a c5/BP shifter. Anybody have any pics/names of something similar?

Try looking for a "cue ball" shift ****. Hurst makes one, and there are plenty of knockoffs for it. Should be around $40, you can get them in white or black, and yes they're threaded for C5.

Try West Coast Corvettes at 1-888-737-8388. They Have the billard ball ***** in 2" or 2.25" in black or white with the 6 speed pattern enbossed on them. Priced at $49.95. A little spendy, but hey, it's your money.
