LOTS of instructions..

yikes... this looks like an ALL DAY project heh... disconnect this.. remove that...

looks cool though http://www.corvetteforum.cc/ubb/smile.gif cant wait to put it in!

Are they shipping? I have 5 on order. I guess I need to call and find out where they are.

Let us know how the install goes and more important how you like like compared to the stock shifter.

GIJoe,

That's great, where did you get it from?

I am hoping that it's from Barnett's.

I am getting my gears installed right now, it would be perfect timing.

Hope you like it.

How much was the shifter

Barnett's was selling it for $120 plus free shipping. I called them Tuesday and they said they still have yet to recieve them.

Take pics of the install.

What else do you need besides the shifter to install

still waiting on mine that was ordered thru summit racing

Guys- Joe's shifter came from me, Hurst's "Corvette Engineering consultant". He was one to jump on a few early units I had available. They are not yet on the market, but will be shortly, like the end of this week or early next week.

The best place to order is through Barnett Performance. The price is cheaper and the handling charge is cheaper than any of the other retailers.

Installation is not that tough (compared to installing an engine...) but will take 2-6 hours depending on your exhaust and skills.

If you want to know about the installation, see this document, the final draft text of the instructions:

Figures are done but not in this text I have posted. For an exploded view of the shifter assembly, see this GM pic:
