Default C5R Delrin shift ****

After seeing this shift **** in this thread (https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...hift-****.html), I decided to pick one up myself. I bought it on eBay for about $40.

I had the stock Hurst shift ****, but it was looking a little beat-up:



Here's the C5R ****:





It's a little shorter than the stock ****. Feels solid and durable. I haven't gotten a chance to drive with it yet.

I got a chance to drive the car today. The C5R **** looks great and worked fine. It's easy to grip, and despite being slightly shorter than the stock ****, it wasn't any harder to shift. I really like the simplicity and "raciness" of it.

all the reviews ive seen people looove delrin *****. i like them but think a good quality leather **** looks better, but this would definitely be my second choice.

I agree that I like the way the stock one (if it was in good condition) looks better, but that one looks cool and comfortable too. Congrats.

I like that it's simple and plain. All business, not flashy like some other shift ***** out there.

Like I said, it's not flashy. It just gets the job done.

I love mine, looks like a different company though.

Really simple, pistol-grip is really fun to throw around, looks better than most too, more OEM.

Dont like the looks really, does kinda look like a ***** imo haha thats what i though before i read anyone elses, my friends rsx has an aluminum **** like this but instead of a rounded top its flat, pretty much the only difference are those two things. Its not too bad actually and i was thinking about getting something like his (given i would have to modify it to fit). Since this looks about like the same thing how do you compare it to the hurst? I have the stock leather ball and its not too bad but its gotta go here soon

I haven't found a shift **** I actually wanted. I like my stock Hurt one fine. Fits my hand perfectly.
