whats c6 linkage mod ona c5?

Because it's usually cheaper and the C6 shifter is a big improvement over the C5. I drove a C5 Z with a C6 shifter on it and it was pretty sweet, lower effort and the **** allowed for better control, IMO.

I am running a 06 Z06 shifter and box that I cut down 1" and threaded. I'm using an MGW Gripper ****. This set up cost me all of about $75 with smart shopping. I can't personally compare it to any aftermarket C5 shifter but it is a significant improvement over stock in looks and comfort.

I tried out several different shifter including a C6Z06 unit before deciding on the Hurst. The Z06 shifter was OK, but not a HUGE difference.
Personally, I think it would have worked a lot better if I could have had a place like MGW cast the bottom pivot in plastic like they do on their shifter instead of using the snap-on stock plastic piece. Just a theroy and I don't know if MGW can do that.
The Hurst unit is as "race" as I would go for a street car. It drives well but for waxer types it would be too much and the C6Z piece would be a better choice there.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Plus, the finish and quality of the MGW is incredible.
