WTB C6 shifter...have q's
Is the 'shifter' the actual shift lever coming from the tunnel? What are the pro's and con's of doing this mod, any better ideas to improve throw and height? Anyone know how hard of an install it is?
Thank you,
Ray

It's very easy to install and the throw is shorter, the stalk is shorter and more precise in my opinion. I love it in my '04 Z06.
Do a search and there is a thread on the install process.
Good Luck!

I love mine. You replace the entire shifter assembly as stated so it is very straight forward and very easily reversable. I keep all my original parts just in case I ever sell.
Where are you located?

Go to C5 General and on page 2 there is an excellent write up by Patches on the C-6 shifter. He talks about the difference between it, the stock shifter and the hurst. Probably everything you want to know.

Do a search on "shifter rattle" in the C6 section.
Here's a couple:

Just curious if anyone else, specifically C5 owners, had gotten this problem. Hey, maybe their parts work better in our cars?

The hardest part of putting in a new shifter, no matter the brand you choose is disassembling the center console. Its not hard, just harder than actually doing the shifter replacement.
I don't know about shift rattle in C6 shifter but most of the time those rattles come from setups where an aftermarket **** is used in place of the stock ****. There are lots of threads on shifter vibration if you search for them.
Good luck! Try the suggestion above first. It will lower your stock **** about an 1" which will feel like a shorter throw too!
