Shift **** help
Hello all, just need some advice. Looking to change my shift **** on 07 and not sure what is the best way to go. I have a Callaway shifter in it now and was looking for something close to stock ( like the design). Would like something heaver and leather. Thinking about the MOMO evo or something close to that. Any ideas? thanks for the time.

The thing to be careful of is the height. The Momo ***** fit, but if you're looking in the Evo line, don't get the F16 Evo - it's way too tall. I picked one up, and tried it out, but it didn't work well at all. Fortunately the Combat Evo that I had in the WRX is great in the Vette, and the F16 Evo works well in the WRX... got lucky on that one!
The race Evo should work well also.

I was referred to the Six Shooter Short Throw Shifter by a fellow Corvette owner and drag racer. I decided to go with it, and am very pleased. Works flawlessly and smoothly! Just for your information. I also decided to go with a ball style shift ****, and am very very glad that I did.......whatever you choose good luck with it.

But - this shifter looks like it would pair very well with a TMOD Customs rebuilt lower box.
