Default Shifter Question

Hi,

What Aftermarket shifter do you recomend for your Z06? HURST or B&M?

Thanks in advance

Tony

I have had a B & M and Hurst. I prefer the Hurst for design and for shifting. However, you must adjust it correctly, not like the instructions to get it not to rattle and use the pipe plug to stop heat and reduce rattle all together. You will like either one. Both are much better than the stock shifter.
