I'm a newbe so go easy on me. I'm trying to learn.

I recently bought 2000 Z28 SS with the 6-speed manual transmission. I have a chrome shifter with a leather shift **** on it. It has the "H" in the leather. I have also seen black shift levers with the "SLP" in the ****. Which is correct, is mine aftermarket? So far all cars I've seen have the black lever.

Also, I have seen most cars with an all black boot. Mine has red stitching on it. I'm wondering if I have a factory shifter or not.

Thanks for your help.

Factory **** yes. Factory shift boot no. As far as the shifter mechanism we can't really tell without pics, so post some if you can.

Here are a few pics (double click to enlarge) that I took of my shifter and one that I bought at a later time.

What is correct and what is not? I'm restoring the car and would like it to be correct.

Also, I have a black shifter with an all black boot and the same **** except that it that says SLP on it.

How would my car have come new?

Thanks for your help.

if your car was ordered with the hurst shifter....
it would have the H leather covering & black rod that is bent..... with a boot cover grayish or ebony colored boot with same stitching.

Your last pic shows the oem boot and shifter rod. The **** could have been the H or a Ball. But since SLP built the cars, the SLP **** could have been installed there as directed.

Keep in mind, the SS was finished at SLP, not GM.

It looks like it might be a b&m ripper. First thought was pro 5.0 but it has a gold handle.

Its probably a stock hurst with an aftermarket handle, like a WS6Store stick. Can you take a pic of the shifter base? Whats it look like under the shift boot?

That is the stock Hurst ****, aftermarket stick, and boot like was said before. The B&M Ripper has a machined finish on the stick.
