It's easier to chnage wives than shifters.

Hmmm...
The older one requires you to modify the shaft (grind it down) to use the stock C6 ****. If you don't do this, you will have to use an aftermarket ****.

For the difference in price, its cheaper to use the new one and the stock ****...

Mine was the new one that fits the C6 without modifying.

How do any of the aftermarket shifters compare to a stock C6 Z06 shifter? I'd like shorter throws and more precision....

Default Hurst rattles?

For those who have installed the Hurst shifter, some people in earlier posts noted that it rattles sometimes during medium & hard acceleration. Have you found that to be true? Any difference in rattle with soft/medium/hard springs installed?

I'm looking for the more notchy feel of the Hurst compared to the B&M, but would like to avoid the rattles if there's a way.

Most aftermarket shifters will rattle when under medium to hard acceleration. My B&M does and my brothers Hurst does the same.

If I'm not mistaken, the C6 Z06 shifter reduces throws by 35% over stock C6. Gene @ Fred Beans has them.

I'll be throwing a B&M in this weekend. See how it feels compared to the Hurst in the ZR-1 and a older B&M in a C5.

Anyone have any recomendations for good forum vendors that carry the Hurst? Also has anyone tried the C6Z06 shifter yet? Ive heard it reduces the throw about 35%.

Hopefully I will have the same luck as others by going to an aftermarket shifter to fix shifter jamming between 2nd and 3rd hard shifts.

If you let the spring load do it's job and push straight forward from 2nd and not to the right it will go into 3rd every time. If you push any shifter to the right it will jam.
