I purchased a c6zo6 shifter from a member here on the forum. I assumed it was a complete setup. It was the angled shifter handle with shift ****. It doesnt have the bottom piece attatched to it. Is this bottom piece the same as the stck c5 unit? It looks the same in the pics I have seen. I know it will fit, but am wondering if I would be better off buying a complete new unit. I want to get the most possible benifit from installing the new shifter. Guess I should have bought it new in the first place. Any info would be apreciated. Thanks
Hi.. I installed a complete C6 Z06 shifter assembly in my 00 coupe and the difference is quite noticable from the stock C5 unit... I don't think you'll get the full beneift(if any) form installing just the C6 Z06 handle..
IMO...

^^You want the complete unit. You can get them for a great price from Gene at
The C6 Z06 shift box you are referring to mounts more more solidly than the C5. The C6 Z06 has hard plastic bushings and the C5 has rubber bushings[IMG][/IMG] DO NOT look at the shift handel assembles in the picture!!! The shift box on the left is the C6 Z06 . Take note that the two top mounting , located on each end of the shift box are lower than the C5 Z06 on the right. All this does is give you a firmer feel. The two boxes are indentical in everyother way.

I did the same thing last year. I bought a shifter from Ebay, not knowing it was just the handle. It was an expensive lesson. I used it anyway because i like the look of the handle better than the stocker, but there is little, if any performance benefit

For looks it will be a lot better in my opinion. Yes you will be better off buying the complete unit from gene. Do that and I recommend buying a c6 "short" leather boot from MAM, the stock leather boot just doesn't look very good to me! There are many companies that sell them on this forum! I feel its the best mod i could have done, and for the price factor its a no brainer!
