Default New Short Shifter

FIrst mod to my 02 Z06, I couldent belive how long the throws were in this car when I first got it.. More like a truck than a sports car... I won a no name short shifter on eBay total cost $54 delivered.. It has no adjustable stops like some of the higher priced ones, and the only real flaw I have found is it seems the threads are differant from my stock one a little larger shaft I think.. So my round Z06 ball gets about 1.5 turns on and it stops... Anyhow for $54 delivered its one hell of a differance.. the shifts are obviously faster and more precise, And I have heard alot of guys complaining about the noise with some of the shifters... noting differant than stock here... One small complaint (that could be fixed with a universal ****) otherwise the best money I think anyone can spend on a Z06..

As far as the noise goes, I guess some people can't get it in their heads that performance part items are not concerned about noise issues.

Its a Z06 its noisey as hell anyways... but I can say this didnt make any additional noise.. I test drove it with the cover off and holy christ it was loud I guess a direct hole to the backside of the motor would do that hu?..lol

"...a direct hole to the backside..." will do that! sorry about that.

btw, some of the name brand shifters have no stops, either.

All the best.

Glad you like your new shifter. FWIW, I have not had any 'noise' issues with my Hurst.

Cheers,

Mark
