Default any one want to trader shifters?

I bought this B&M shifter a few months ago and more and more I do not like it. It is too short for me and not very comfortable. Was thinking about maybe a stock c6 shifter or something comparable. It is B&M Precision Sport Shifter part # 45044 fits all 1997 and up c5 and z06. I also have a hurst black ball shift knob which is ok but I can trade is someone likes it

these have been on my car for less than 500 miles

let me know
Ben

I have the c6 shifter and love it. before that i had the b&m but it was a little to notchy for my taste. I was able to get a c6 shifter and had a friend cut about 1" inch off and had it spiral taped to fit the c5 shifter

that was my plan. I feel the same way, it is too notchy for a car that is not track only.

thanks

I have a B&M Ripper and it was way too notchy for me. Hated it. Did the anti-venom mod and now love it. Totally changed the driving experience. Two bucks and about 20 minutes.

I just did a search on it and it seems interesting. How many washers did you use and what thickness?

thanks
