Stock shifter thread size is 12mm I believe. MGW has some nice shift *****.

Yes, thats true. Pretty sure it's 12mm, but could be wrong. 16mm is an option for the MGW shifter, or you can get the OEM size so that your stock shift **** will fit.

You want to replace just the ****? and not the actual shifter?

Just installed a C6 Z06 **** last night and it felt really amazing in my hand compared to the stock Hurst. Its pricey but thats never been a concern of mine.

What shifter do you have? I have the Pro 5.0 with the regular stick, and stock Hurst ****. I personally like the stock feel and appearance of it.

How much was the C6 ****?

Just the stock hurst with an WS6store short stick. To me the C6 **** just fits your hand better and it seems much easier to powershift but then again I havent put many miles on it since I have had it. I got one made to fit our cars from GScreations made from alcantara. It was like $115 but leather can be had cheaper. Like I said its not cheap but it matched the theme of my interior and I wanted alcantara. After driving a C6Z I fell in love with the feel of the ****.

After driving a C6Z; I probably wouldn't want to get back in my car haha.

You just need the right shifter and the right mods.

I agree with the C6 ****. When I got my MGW for the corvette I specifically asked for a C6 shaft so I could use the ****. It's perfect.

For an FBody, I'm partial to a GTO ****. I liked it the best.

The composite MGW rave shift **** is by far the best option out there for a shift ****. GTO shift **** is nice, but not in the same ballpark as the MGW ****.
