z06 shifter
I'm going to put Z06 clutch in my C6, do any of you know if the shifter itself is diferent from regular C6 shifter, and if any of the after market shifters is better than stock Z06 shifters? Can I get away with staying with my stock shifter? Thanks

the stick of both are the same... the base unit of the Z06 shifter is different (it is a shorter throw than stock)
i also had a B&M shifter for a while it is a very short throw shifter.... (do a search on "shifter" and find lots of info)
i am currently using the Z06 unit (complete)... here is a pic of the throw...

There are two separate components:
1. Shifter. This is bolted solid to the shifter box. It moves the rod in the shifter box which is connected to the transmission. The Z06 and base shifters are the same.
2. Shifter box. This is mounted to the torque tube and contains the shifter rod that connects to the trans. The base shifter box has rubber bushings in the mount to the shifter box but the Z06 does not. The Z06 box mounting tabs are thicker since there bushings and metal sleeve are gone.
Vibration from the torque tube can cause the shifter assembly to buzz or rattle at various RPMs on the Z06 box. The bushings can fail with the base mount and resulting in poor shifter alignment and difficulty in up/down shifting, vibration, and rattling.
