I was also looking at some non corvette specific *****, but don't know if they will work. Anyone know the size of the (hate to use the term but) shifter shaft in the stock vette? Like 14mm etc.
That $100 is pricey, but outside of EG's there are not many options for much less money.

Remember you can put any 6spd shifter on to an A4 as long as you have the adaptor which is $45

Cajun, sorry for hijacking your thread with my nonsense. I just get carried away sometimes and the humour gets the better of me.
