Billet Aluminum shift ***** for C5 or F-body New aluminum shift ***** for any 1997-2004 Corvette or F-body with a manual transmission. These are a direct fit/replacement for the boring stock shift ****. They're made from lightweight and durable 6061 billet aluminum material and have a 9/16" - 18 tapped hole for the C5, or 16mm x1.5 tapped hole for the F-body in them. They're CNC machined and hand sanded to a brushed aluminum satin finish that really looks sharp in the interior. The ***** could also be polished to a mirror finish for an additional $10.
The shift ***** are manufactured right here in the U.S.A. They are made not only to look good, but to feel comfortable on your hand. Unlike other shift ***** on the market, the longer neck reaches the shift boot so the ugly threaded rod is not showing. Double sided tape is provided with order to help secure the correct boot position. The shift **** feels natural in your hand as your making your way through those gears. If you don't like these particular designs, stay tuned, additional designs will follow. Custom engraving (other than the shift pattern) can be done for an additional $20.
This particular design has a fully rounded top with a diameter of just over 2" that tapers down to a neck that is about 1 3/16" in diameter. The overall length is just over 2 1/2". $50, free shipping within the US
Here's the full round with a flat top and the 6speed shift pattern engraved on it. $60, shipped within the US
The last design I have made at this point is this type. This one also has a flat top and is engraved. $60, shipped within the US.
These are the polished pics.

Not sure what the thread is for the F-body. These were tapped with a 9/16 -18 hole specifically for the C5. I could just as easily tap any additional ones I make with the correct thread for a f-body. Does anybody know what the size is? Thx.

We ended up polishing some of the ***** today. They came out with a nice mirror finish. Really pops in the interior. Add $10 to the above prices if you would like any of the designs polished.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be making the black Delrin tomorrow when the material comes in. I'll post a pic. I should have all the right tap sizes for the F body tomorrow too. If anyone wants one for their F-body, let me know. Here's a pic of another design we ended up making today. Also a pic of the satin and polished together for comparison.

We made 2 more designs yesterday. The first is the full round version made from Delrin that several people have asked for. This particlular one is polished a bit. It has a nice smooth finish. We're working on an addition finish that is just machined. A little bit rougher, but it may appeal to some people. Will post a pic when we have something worth sharing.
The second pic is an additional billet aluminum **** that has a flat on top. You could choose to leave it blank or engrave the shift pattern (included in the price $60). Custom engraving or polished to a mirror finish (additional $10). Hope you like them. Please specify if it's for a C5, or Fbody(default 16x1.5 thread, unless otherwise notified) Thanks......Laurie

Btw, the full round versions are drilled and tapped a little bit deeper and sit a little further down. A really nice option if you were looking to shorten the height at all........Laurie
