I agree I bought a ball from twisted shifterz because it was funny and said ******* fast for 6th gear. It was only 38 bucks and I know why when the plastic shift ball arrived that couldn’t even be a paperweight. It sucks and I will be running the MGW, anti venom mod, and a weighted ball

Really did not like the hurst I put in my C5. Always felt very stiff and far from smooth. When I traded the car in to a dealer that specializes in corvettes he immediately took it out, not trying to knock anyone that likes Hurst but but was not impressed. Put a MGW in my C6 and love it. Not as fluid smooth as stock, but shorter and more precise. Great upgrade.
