TransGo for 119.00
B&M for 109.00
Does anyone have an opinion? I'm sure you do.

Transgo works for me, very positive shifts, this is how the vette should come equiped. It breaks the tires loose on the 1-2 shift quite easily even with traction control on :thumbs:

Had a transmission shop do it, it needed the 25k service anyway, so it was pretty simple for me :thumbs: :flag

I bought the Hurst and am happy with it; it's much better than the sloppy stock shifter. It's easy to install. There's a Tech Tip posted for a Ripper, same process.
