Don't get upset, just poking a little fun at the OP. Without pics, can we really be sure it happened.

No harm meant....

Default Hurst short throw notchey feel

Going into first and second is notchey, especially when cold. Is it the Hurst? Did you have similar problems of the notchey feel from Hurst and did the C6 Z06 shifter help?

Does that shifter fit into the C-5 (2004 base) just fine?

Thanks!

No less than 15 threads in recent months on C5 aftermarket shifters.
MGW and Hinson seem to be top of heap.

I put a Hinson in mine and could not be happier. Did not try MGW.
