Default Shifter ****

If I can find a C6 shifter ****, is there any modification needed to use it on a C5 shifter?

A stock C/5 shifter shaft is 9/16"-18

A stock C6 **** will not fit.
You can purchase an aftermarket C6 **** with 9/16"-18 & of course, it will then fit.

Thanks,
I knew the C5 was a 9/16x18, did not know about the C6 ****, what is the mod?

The C6 slips down onto the shaft. No threads. It's held in place by a single screw on the side of the **** near the bottom. With boot in place you can't see it.

Not really sure if the threaded C6 ***** being offered by a couple vendors are OEM ***** that have been threaded for C5s or are reproductions made with threads. I'm thinking they are likely OEM that have been threaded.

Ebay has the C/6 *****, threaded 9/16"-18 to fit the stock C5 shafts.

I got my c6 shifter **** from gscreations it has a self threading polymer boss inside that locks in when you screw it on. But i put some loctite blue on for extra measure. Feels great, BIG improvement over the dated stock shift ****, and has never lossened up.
