Short throw shifters
Picked my bone stock ZR1 up today and noticed what everyone else said. The shifter is sloppy. I ran a B&M in my C5Z and it was good. What do y’all say for this new car?

Had a 07 Z06 and now a 12 GS and I installed a MGW in both. Its the best on the market.

I had a Hurst in my C5, it was pretty easy to install. Is it about the same for a C6 Z?
Just watched the MGW install video. It has a few more steps than the Hurst did in my C5, but looks pretty easy, unless you are all thumbs, like my brother. He doesn’t have a Corvette and doesn’t even know about the forum, so I can safely say this!

MGW is unanimously recommended here...so I'd check that out. FWIW, the MTI six-shooter is a nice shifter as well...fits the OE shifter dust boot like stock (no cutting, etc); in the event you find the MGW "complete assembly" to be more than what you wanted to spend.

And another vote for the MGW shifter. One of the best mods I've done to the car.

My used ZR1 actually had a MGW shifter on a GM box in it when I bought it. I did not know that when I bought my shifter as I never experienced a stock shifter. At that time the box was an option. I put the new shifter and box in and sold the old MGW that came with the car. Just thought I would mention it.

mine came in Friday and it has everything. Haven’t installed yet for other reasons, but MGW was the hands down only option from what I’ve heard and read.
