I don't have a Callaway but they all go in the same. Once you remove the console the rest is a piece of cake. I took me about an hour to install the B&M.

Callaway here and love it no complaints. I rate the job beginners basic tools. The kit comes with good instructions and I believe they have em on their website if you want a heads up on what your getting into.

Aside from this minor dilemma,, in the past I have owned many aftermarket shifters of various makes, this by far is the most positive, stable and solid yet not too notchy shifter. Missing third is a thing of the past and going in reverse, is now a pleasure. Once you have the console off check the two small factory rubber bushings that dampen the shifter (don't know what you call them) on the right side of the shifter. Mine are worn and need replacement, they should be made of polyurathane, however you will probably feel more vibration from the shifter , hence the factory's rubber set up. Man what a shifter

Since callaway own's the callaway shifter patent, do you really think they are going to divulge the difference between the two? Kirban is Kirban, Callaway is Callaway..you are not suggesting that callaway is secretly selling their shifter to a sub aftermarket company named Kirban? If that is the case I am not taking chances, and going with callaway and will spend the extra $70 bucks.. Chump change..

Naturally it gets hotter in direct sun than the stock or a plastic ****, but it cools off fast. The heft of the aluminum ball adds to the solid, connected feel of this shifter. I love it.
Callaway has a devoted following in the Corvette community because of the quality of their products, and their total commitment to Corvette. The BlueCoupe sports a Honker, plug wires and short-throw shifter so far.
