how about something for the 04 Le Mans Blue Z06? Shift pattern on top is fine, the two white stripes on it are fine, just want a good matching color? Thanks, Doug

Again, all of the above ***** are made in the USA with TOP NOTCH materials. No cheap stuff, you can tell just holding them in your hands that they are pure quality!!!
They take 2-3 days top ship and some orders can take a week to ship, but worth the wait and every penny!!!!
They fit ALL C5 and C6 Corvettes including the ZR1 and Z06.
Check them out when you have time...

The shift **** converter works really well. I have an 05 automatic, and hate the look of the stock shift ****...Definitely like Jim says below if you have a C6 automatic and using the converter, get the C5 threaded design...just got out of hospital, so will hopefully have pics up later this week.
Ok....we now have the solution for the Auto guys....
Our Corvette Auto-Manual shift **** converter will allow you to use any of the standard C5 threaded 9/16-18 shift ***** on the Automatic shifter. To change gear position, you just press down on the entire ****.
Also works on the C6 Automatic also.....Just make sure you order a shift **** designed for the C5, threaded with 9/16-18
Do not tell me I do not listen to the forum suggestions...

As a matter of fact these ***** will work for the auto so long as you get the shift adapter first:
http://www.southerncarparts.com/corv...er-p-4026.html
It's a really simple installation, and this way you can use the threaded shift *****...only thing to note is that the shift adapter will be threaded correctly for the C5-specific *****. C6 manual ***** install differently so those won't work.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Dave

C6 shift adapter.
Jim,
Do you think you could make an adapter, that would fit on the shifter, that would allow someone to use any old shifter, like the ones on the C5? I have a billet C5 Z06 shifter from my totaled Z06, but it is the screw on type. I would love to put it on the C6 427.

So if I drive a A6 Grand Sport, I have to first purchase the A5 shifter kit, then the manual sphers will fit? After installation, I just push down on the sphere to shift into gear? Just checking before I order. I want the CORVETTE C6 SHIFT **** - CORVETTE SCRIPT & 100TH ANNIV bad!

Have any of you used any of these shift *****? I'm interested in the stainless steel shift ****. It states that it weighs 1.2lbs. That seems like a lot of dead weight, but it may make for more enjoyable shifting. With that much weight and a manual six-speed, is there any danger of damaging the shift linkage?

Terry

I had a Mustang with a custom shift ****, and after a hot day in the sun, it would burn (kinda like that guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark, it would leave the shift pattern in your palm... 
)
Anyhow, what I did to remedy that was I stole one of gf's jewelry bags. She has the black felt bags with drawstrings that her jewelry came in.
And when I would park the car I would slip it on top of the shift ****, so when I came back to the car, it might be a little warm, but by no means "hot".
And when driving, I would just fold it and put it in the glove box or center console...
Just an idea...
