Question: installing a manual C6 shifter in a C5
I've already ordered the shifter from Cultrag but I understand the old shifter boot will not fit. Has anyone done this conversion or know someone who has and how did you solve the boot issue?
Thanks

that's all I did I slit open the top part where the glue was at. Slid it over and used a wire tie to hold it in place. Screw in handle first then use the wire tie.

What I did was to snip the top of the boot to the size of the bottom of the C6 ****, then flip the boot inside out. The bottom of the **** was stuck into the boot, so that the tip of the boot matched the (bottom) tip of the ****. I put a rubber O-ring around the boot, in the groove in the ****. I guess a wire tie or narrow zip tie would work too. Then I bolted the **** in place and flipped the boot down into the hole in the console.

My issue with the ziptie is the little "****" at the end. I know it would bug me if I ran my fingers around the bottom of the ****. But maybe that's just my OCD.

Here my RSD shifter which is basically a modified c6z shifter.. I turned the boot inside out and zip tied it to make it shorter.
