Default C6 Shift **** Modification

Does anyone have DIY instructions on converting a C6 shift **** to fit the C5?

I don't think they have a DIY. You are better off marking where you would need to drill a hole into the shifter. Then drilling and taping it for a screw, mount it like they did on the C6. Other wise you need to find and put in a threaded insert and cut off the little plastic people with the screw hole.

Thanks! I inserted a threaded section of an old after market shifter I had. Worked great.
