To me, the round ball ***** are too old school for a C6. It likes having a pine picnic table in the kitchen of a neo modern home. Just doesn't look right.

I love the stock ****. It has the perfect feel and grip.

I agree but I would like shorter throws which the ball gives you.

I really like the feel of the billet **** on my TPS shifter.

Thank you! They attach the same way the factory **** does, which makes them an easy replacement. I got it from RPI Designs.

Just a word of caution, I have the same one as Ed & it’s sitting on my desk in two pieces as the ball came if the stick after just the 2nd time driving the car with it on. I’ve purchased other products from the same vendor that have had subpar quality as well & their solution is to send the product back and wait for them to fix it (could take several months). I actually contacted them twice regarding the shift **** & no response. Oh well

That sucks that happened to yours. Mine has been in my car for about two years now and I've never had a problem with it, and it's been put to heavy use more than a few times.

I waited over 8 weeks for it to arrive too (it was actually a father's day present from my 9-year old). I'll get around to putting it back together and may put it back in the car, we'll see.
