Do you have a black leather wrapped "piston type" with the correct Corvette "6-speed pattern" on it?

Will this work in a C5?

Corvette Grand Sport Billiard Style Shift *****?

Cutting down the C5 shift lever to any height you want is not hard, once you decide to ditch the OEM shift ****. You need a 9/16 18tpi national fine die to extend the thread, a hacksaw to chop off what you don't want, a pair of grips to hold the shaft so you don't put stress on the shifter when cutting and dieing, and some lube - cutting oil ideal, but grease will get the job done.

Then pick whichever of these great looking ***** you like, and as long as it has the regular C5 9/16 thread you are good to go. Use either a locknut or teflon tape to stop the **** turning once you have it where you want it.

Check them out at the links below, lots of options for each basic style, so scroll down to the bottom of the page so you can see how customizable these shift ***** are...

C5 Shift *****....
Corvette C5 Sphere Shift ****

Corvette Hybrid Shift ****

Corvette C5 Piston Shift ****

Corvette C5 Stainless Steel Shift ****

And then the Corvette C6 Custom Shift *****
Corvette C6 Stainless Shift ****

Corvette C6 Piston Shift ****

Again, all of the above ***** are made in the USA with TOP NOTCH materials. No cheap stuff, you can tell just holding them in your hands that they are pure quality!!!

They take 2-3 days top ship and some orders can take a week to ship, but worth the wait and every penny!!!!

They fit ALL C5 and C6 Corvettes including the ZR1 and Z06.

Check them out when you have time...

David

Has anyone used the stainless steel shift ****? Does is seem to have a smoother shift motion? Weighing 1.2lbs, is there a chance that with that much dead weight and the repetitive action of a 6-speed manual that it could have a negative effect on the shift linkage?

Terry

I just used a small screwdriver and popped it out. It should slide straight out.

custom ****

Very happy with the look and feel of the manual shift **** installed on the anne. The **** is very comfortable and quite a looker, especially at night when the shift pattern is illuminated with a blue led.

Personally I love the GTO shift *****, this reminds me of that quite a bit.
