Ok....we now have the solution for the Auto guys....
Our Corvette Auto-Manual shift **** converter will allow you to use any of the standard C5 threaded 9/16-18 shift ***** on the Automatic shifter. To change gear position, you just press down on the entire ****.
Also works on the C6 Automatic also.....Just make sure you order a shift **** designed for the C5, threaded with 9/16-18
Do not tell me I do not listen to the forum suggestions...

Chrome possible?
I used to have this one with a Kirban. The polishwork would look bad in just weeks from corrosion. It needs anodize, chrome, or some other kind of coating which I didn't have.
Now I have an MTI six shooter with C6 ****. Great combo.
If I can get chrome on the sphere I'd be interested, let me know a price if possible.

These are not the same thing as a Kirban shifter, not even close. They do not corrode or lose any luster over time as they are made of Stainless Steel. The Kirban shifter **** is made of Aluminium...
Thanks,
Jim

I see you mention that the ***** are customizable--does this include the possibility of custom engraving? Because I'm thinking a black copolymer or hybrid with a red Jake engraved in it would have me crackin' my wallet doubletime...

), that brings the total cost of the **** to a staggering $167. Yowza!I ended up buying this Delrin one for $50, which included the engraving option. Granted, it isn't weighted with that nice stainless collar, but I just couldn't justify paying an extra $117 for a few ounces of weight.
Not trying to crap on your thread, as your products look really nice. Just trying to figure out what makes that **** $167. Wish I could justify buying one!

No, wish I could say we can make them cheaper, but can't. The price probably will not ever be coming down. Sure, you can buy other shift **** for 30 bucks engraved. Difference is not simply weight, it is the material. We are not using sub-par material and then weighting it with lead or some other substance, but rather a true Acetal Copolymer Plastic on the top (a much nicer and more temperature resistant material than standard petroleum plastics, or even acrylics, as many ***** are made from) and SOLID 303 Stainless steel, precision made and hand crafted. Each **** is CUSTOM made to your specs. They are not pre made and pulled out of a bin (as you can see from the choices)
Not cheap, I know....and not for most people. BUT if you want the best quality you gotta be willing to pay the price.
This is the difference between a diamond and a zirconium, gold and gold plated, jewelry and costume jewelry It is all about what it is made of and how it is made.
If anything, price might increase because of increase in material costs.... Which I would hate to see happen....
Good question though,
Jim

Any chance these ***** might come down in price soon? To be competitive? I reeeeeally want that weighted ****! However, with the engraved shift pattern option of $30 ( ), that brings the total cost of the **** to a staggering $167. Yowza!

...like the old HURST shifter *****...
Just joined and did my 'n00b' post...now this is my first 'contribution' to the Forum.
I drive BUS and was passing by the High School on their last day of school.
Down to my left at the stop light is a 1965 Mustang notchback...nice car...but what stuck out was the BIG WHITE **** for the manual shifter!!!
Sure 'nough, when the light turned green, I heard the 'blip' of the throttle and the lug in the motor before the clutch engaged...while this kid was grabbing the shifter and making it real.
There's something about that frikkin' shifter **** that is inextricably tied to 'muscle' or 'hot-rod' or 'power'.
THAT'S what I'd want for my money.
MAKE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT, and I'll buy it.
So would a lot of other people, I suspect.
High polish white with the black shift pattern painted on it.
COOL.

Went to the Corvette Show at Lee Johnson Chev in Kirkland today and learned a few things. Saw some great Corvettes and talked to some really nice folks, including the President of the Corvette Marque Club in Seattle.
Came home with some good pix and started 'surfing'.
What I found was:

Exactly what I was commenting about.
The products shown in the thread are really nice and well engineered, but it's the HURST product that I was wondering about, and it's already on the market.
So much to learn!

Yeah, the Hurst shifter is an iconic muscle car look. Seems to be what you want.
We sell the Classic Hurst Shift **** on our website, just click the link!
Be advised though that while the Hurst look is classic, those ***** aren't customizable and don't have weighting or **** collars available, like this custom ones do.
Thanks,
Matt
