Default c6-2008-manual shifter

Has anyone replaced the stock manual shifter on a 08 base vette?
I think Kirban is the only company that makes one, but I understand it does not come with instructions on how to remove the console. Has anyone installed one or have any info on removing the console?

You want an MGW shifter. If you search, you'll find a million gazillion posts with instructions.

I have the Hurst billet plus short throw. Several companies make them!

Yep, the MGW is the one you want. Hands down, the very best shifter for your C6. I just love mine.

I believe they are a forum vendor:
