I just installed mine last week with the same results! It definitely is a lot better than the original stock shifter as well as the Hurst I removed. Thanks to Gene, Patches, and the forum of course

I really want to do this mod but I want to test drive a C5 with it first. Guess I'm waiting for the next Block Head meet in Orange County!

Here are the instructions: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1022661

I have them saved to do the same thing. This seems to have become quite the popular mod, I have the new shifter sitting on my desk at the moment. I will hopefully have the swap done sometime this week.
