With the C5 Corvette we sell a kit that will allow for installation of a manual shift **** and still have full auto functionality. As for direct fitment auto *****, there aren't many choices out there. Give us a call at (770)919-1433 though and we'll get the right set-up figured out for you!

Thanks,
Matt

Hmm... What's the average price for something like this?

I need to check my thread size on my katech short throw in my CTS-V but if it will work, I might be interested in the sphere or piston ****.

Pricing will depend on the material and the options you select, but I'd say they tend to average around $100. Check out the links above and you'll see all the specific info.

Again, all of the above ***** are made in the USA with TOP NOTCH materials. No cheap stuff, you can tell just holding them in your hands that they are pure quality!!!

They take 2-3 days top ship and some orders can take a week to ship, but worth the wait and every penny!!!!

They fit ALL C5 and C6 Corvettes including the ZR1 and Z06.

Check them out when you have time...

I think I may go this route. I haven't found many options for a 5/8 thread size. I'll have to see what options I have and which I'd like best.

Not a bad idea! Will run it by this manufacturer and see if it's a possibility. My only concern would be the white coming off of a metal **** over time, since it would need to be powdercoated or painted and not be a part of the natural plastic color.

Matt

Scroll to the bottom where the drop-down windows are and select the options for the grooves, the shift pattern, and the burnt finish in the color of your choice. If you need any help, give me a call at 770-919-1433.

Thanks,
