Default 2000 C5 automatic Shifter

Anyone out there been unhappy with your stock automatic shifter and found something to replace/upgrade it without destroying your center console?

I'm new to corvette world, my new C5 has 178K miles on it and the shifter is well...a little sloppy.

Would a B&M Hammer work in this console? Any opinions?

I run a SickSpeed C-5 GM ball. You just push down on
the ball to shift. Cool--it's black. It was custom made. No
pic's never thought anyone was interested.

I don't have any complaints about my stock A4 shifter - but the car only has 15K miles on it works just like new. I do wish a vendor would come up with some really cool shift ***** that didn't require an adapter.

Though I say mine is sloppy, I'm told that it's only the cable that needs replacing due to wear. Looks like I'll go that route w/adapter and black C5 ball and hope for the best. I'm glad to hear you're happy with your new one mebbe mine will end up that way.

I checked their site, the only custom one I saw was half stainless for the "heavy" feel. Is that the one you have?
