The bushing at the back of my shifter box that the rod goes through is worn, so the rod can move a decent amount side to side. This one:



Is there some place I can buy a replacement, or any way to firm this up?

I have a lower shifter box (30,000 miles) from a 2004 Z06 that I believe fits the C6. Maybe someone from here can verify the two are equivalent.

If so, PM me and I will ship it to you.

Your other alternative is a new shifter assembly from GM or a MGW short throw shifter. ($300 - $400).

Or you can press the bronze bushing out and press in a new one. It is probably a standard size, available from McMaster Carr. The shipping would cost more than the part.

I think the boxes interchange from the C5 through the C7. They did update that bushing on the later ones.

See also TMODCUSTOMS and Tick Performance. The new Tick setup looks very nice.

I went with TMODCUSTOM and based that on the options that they offered.

You are correct. The C7 lower shifter box has a Delrin bushing not a bronze bushing.

I have owned a C5, C5Z, C6, C6Z, & a C7Z. I replaced every shifter with the MGW short throw shifter. This is why I have a few stock shifters sitting in boxes.

I got the TMODCUSTOMS refreshed box. A little tight, but pretty good after breaking in.

Easy to punch out the old bushing and just re-sleeve it wit a Delin bushing,
But since the problem is the upper shifter as well on why its so sloppy, just pick up a MGW shifter that will come with new lower box, and has factory replacement delin bushing if you do wear them out.

I went with TMOD and I'm happy with the improved shifter feel.

Another vote for Tmod. I like supporting the small guys too - watched him introduce and build his products here to solve a problem he saw and it seems that others are following.
