TPS 427x Short Shifter-$139.99 FREE SHIPPING!
 
TPS Motorsports 427x Short Shifter-$139 FREE SHIPPING!

TPS has done it AGAIN! TPS has acquired a nice batch of C6Z shifters without the shifter box that we're blowing out to you for only $129.99 delivered to your door!

The only thing that's different from our normal 427 shifter vs. the 427x is the 427x doesn't have a shifter box which is not needed when swapping out this shifter. You will also need to move the black pivot bushing from your old shifter to the new one.

TPS Motorsports' new short shifter is ready for your C5 or C6 Corvette! We take the great shifter from one of the greatest sports cars in the world, the C6 Z06 Corvette, and modify it to provide a shorter throw than your stock shifter. Unlike aftermarket shifters, the TPS 427 Shifter retains the nice smooth shifting action of the Z06 Shifter while reducing the length of the shift throws about 20%. The TPS 427 Shifter makes shifting more precise and generally makes driving your Corvette that much more enjoyable. Just add the shift knob of your choice and your ready to go! Shifter takes any shift knob with a 9/16-18 thread pattern

Don't wait too long we've sold 10 units already and we only have 40... once they are gone there won't be any more available

Dave68 06-21-2011 04:12 PM

Do you mean "available at this price" or "available at all"? If they won't be available at all, why not?

Normally they are sold with a shifter box from GM but we have them without. Without the box which is allowing us to sell them A LOT cheaper. Since the shifters without the box are gone we'll only sell the one with the box for 175.

Since the shifter is angled, I wonder how a "bullet style" shift knob would look/feel? (See picture of bullet knob with vertical-style shifter, below.) Do you have any pictures with this type of shift knob installed?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

Unfortunately I don't have any pics of that type of knob with our shifter but I would assume it would looks very similar but with a "slight" angle.

Just tried to purchase one with paypal. I kept getting an "internal error" message. Will try again tomorrow.

Does the new shifter box make a difference with regards to shifter vibration? If ordered without the box, is the new snap on end cap included as shown in your post?

The box should not make a difference unless your stock box is worn out. The new snap on end cap is included

Thanks for the quick response! Glad to see I'm not the only insomniac on the forum! One other question, how much length do you remove from the shifter?

Most C5 shift knobs will fit this shifter :).
