Here’s the thing about C5 shifters, most of them do the same thing. You can move a pivot point to change the ratio and remove slop… that’s kinda it.

I like the Tick and TMod as they both replace the boxes and eliminate a ton of slop.

I've had my TMOD for several years. No complaints and would buy it again.

Another fan of the TMOD. Shores up all the slop and I’m certain of which gear I’m selecting. It’s one of those “should have come from the factory like this” type of improvements. I went with this option because I was not looking for a notchy short throw shifter experience. Nothing wrong with those but I found the TMOD to be the perfect solution for just everyday street driving.

I love Tmod for his tubs. I tried a free spinning shifter and it was not for me or my cro magnkn wrist. You have 3 good dudes here, but those shifters almost ne er get that heavy a response.

By all means, his tubs are amazing and I fully recommend the linkage mod next time you change the clutch.

I dig the older use MGWs personally. Light. Goes into a tmod tub. Awesome.

Tick is a monster too. You'll never miss a gear. It has less slop in the shaft travel and so it is great for guys driving hard because you don't ever need to think.

Best perfect function and fitment without the racer feel? Callaway. They got that one nailed.

I was sold on the TMOD until I learned the shift arm is free spinning. For that reason, I went with the MGW. If the shift arm was fixed in place, I would have definitely bought the TMOD.
