As mentioned above, there are several options. PPG is likely the most widely known. But that doesn't mean that it's the best for your application.

And then for what it's worth, some folks have been actively swapping in the GM 8L90 transmission into C5s. Those can be built by aftermarket shops to do some serious work. It just depends on what you're after and why you want to switch up your transmission action.

The sequential shifters that are sold for T56/6060s are cool in theory... But horrible in reality.
The shift is too quick for synchronizers and blocker rings. For a faceplated gearset, it isn't too big of a deal as they need to be shifted as fast and forceful as possible.

I don't think you understand. The shifter physically shifts the gears faster than the synchros and blocker rings can handle. Has nothing to do with no lift shift.

He did get it sorted out!
but he's on a 6XD and Winters diff
precovid it was a $30k system. I don't know what it costs now, but it's for sure the strongest trans and diff combo available for the C5/6/7 platforms
