Does it say it'll work with a Corvette? Where did you "find" it?

actually im sorry its listed as corvette camaro shifter, the description doesnt give much help
"This is a genuine B&M shifter for a T56 transmission that has been shortened even more. I had it in my Nissan 240SX with an LS1 swap for a while, and then went to a Hurst shifter instead. You can see in the pictures how much it has been cut, and then rethreaded at the top. Also included is a C6 Corvette shift **** with the carbon fiber shift pattern that fits this shifter. Both are in excellent shape, and the mounting bolts and washers are included as well."

Shifters that fit Vettes will not fit any other cars, stay away unless you know for sure what it fits. Vette linkage is totally different since the trans is in the rear of the car.
