c6 shifter question
I just bought a 2002 coupe and it has the following shifter in it:
I can't tell if that is the stock assembly, it appears to be straight up and down. I'd really like to have a C6 shifter ****, but I don't know if I also have to have the c6 shifter assembly as well. Can anyone shed some light on that?
Also, where is everyone buying these at, I haven't really seen a solid source for them.

Can't really tell anything from the pics,but here's the deal;
If the shaft is threaded,and the **** screws on,it's a C5 shifter.
If the shaft is just round,with a flat area and a screwhole on one side,it's a C6,or an aftermarket shifter.
From the pics,it APPEARS that the shaft is too long to be a C6,and it also looks straight,without the "kink" that a C6 shifter has .
If you want a C6 ****,you're going to have to get a C6 shifter(comes with the ****)-I got one over a year ago,and it is worth every penny-the shifter just "fits" better,being 1" shorter,and having the slight bend in it.
The GM Partshouse is where I got mine,Gene is a great guy to deal with,and the prices ain't bad either.
Do a search for GM Partshouse,and you'll find his monthly specials,which usually include the C6 shifter.

it appears as though you have the OEM C5 shifter, as you have a threaded shaft with a split in the end for the pin that provides tension so the shift **** doesn't loosen up unnecessarily. the threads on the C5 shaft are 9/16 - 18 which is a thread size not readily available in the "usual" grouping of shifter *****. a heavier, low profile shifter ****, if you can find one you like, does help the feel of this shifter, as does cutting down the shaft to shorten it. however most opt to go with another shifter altogether. the RSD snap shifter is a very nice "upgraded" C6 Z06 shifter with a "modified" shaft which is another possibility. hth.
