Default Corvette C6 and C5 Custom Shift *****...

Brand new from Southern Car Parts....finally Corvette shift ***** that use the same thread pattern as the stock C6 and C5 shifter that are made of high quality materials and look awesome. Very customizable, including having the factory shift pattern engraved on the top.

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...

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...

I wish the Hurst ball shifter for the C6Z actually said HURST on the side like the C5 model does.

Default 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...

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

Default ...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.

n00b quotes himself:

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:
http://www.hurst-shifters.com/?wpsc-...d-corvette-c-5


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
