Default C7 shifter

Will a C7 Z06 shifter work in a C5 z06?

Thanks, the reason I was asking is because I put at MGW in my C7 Z06 so that shifter which is brand new is just sitting there. So I thought I would put it in the c5

Said no one who ever discovered anything new.

Based on the fact that @TMODcustoms seems to be marketing his rebuilt lower boxes across C5, C6, and C7 platforms, I think there's a pretty good chance it will work. Give it a try and let us know.

I believe MGW does the same for their shifter. I say give it a try

Side note, a lot of the fast drag racers prefer the C6Z shifter over the MGW. MGW is great for the street where you look for reassuring shift feel, but in a racing environment you don't want to have to think about whether you're in gear or not.
