The stock C6 **** has no threads, it attaches with a set screw. The stock C5 **** will screw onto the B & M with no issues. You can buy a threaded C6 **** from several forum vendors as well as online auction sites.

It's a 9/16-18 thread. Actually, it's quite hard to find a shift **** to fit this size, unless you like the plastic Delrin ***** or the pool-ball type.

I found a really nice leather Euro one and it works perfect. It is also a little taller and extends the short stick of the B&M to a comfortable height. Finally, it is cheaper than most as well - search around.

Nardi Gear Shift **** - Prestige - Black Leather - Part # 3222.01.0000
$75 shipped at Amazon

Forget the adapters that come with it. Screw it right down into the rubber innards and use the 3 Allen screws to set.
