Shifter **** removal?

Are the C5 shifter ***** screwed or pin? Are they interchangable with C6?

the oem c5 **** is screwed and pinned.

remove the shift pattern tab with a flathead and then you will see what is called a demon key, that has to be pulled straight up (good luck) and then the **** just screws off.

the c6 **** bolts on through the side and wont work with a C5 shifter handle. you can get a modified c6 **** on ebay though that will screw on.

I was told the 2008 and newer C6 are different from the early model. I think my C6 shifter is the earlier model design.

A C6 **** needs to be used with a C6 shifter.

all c6 ***** should work on all c6 shifters. One with a MGW shifter can change the upper portion of the shifter to accommodate C5 (screw on) or C6 (slip on) *****.

There is no difference in the way the **** connects to the shifter for any year C6. The difference in the shifters for the different years of C6's are in the base not the ****.

You can buy a C6 **** threaded to fit a C5 shifter online. Search.
