Hi, I just installed a B&M short throw shifter in my 1999 c5 and I do not want to use the stock shift ****. I have been looking around as there are plenty of them but I thought I would ask here to get some suggestions?? Have made up my mind If I want a ball or straight handle! Let me know what you think! Also I am getting a two tone shifter boot that doesnt come with the bottom ring and I would like to keep the old one intact for later use if needed! Any idea where to get one or does anyone have one laying around collecting dust...lol ? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Bill

Got mine from twistedshifterz very happy with it.

That looks really nice! Hows the feel?

Perfect size for me. I have a c6 shifter so had this made to my specs. Twisted is good to work with really helpful with the order/fitment.

I also went with twistedshifterz.

I bought the smallest diameter one they sold. I think it's 2" IIRC.

Very happy with it. It's on a Husrt stick.

Yes the ball looks very sleek! I have also been looking at the hurst pistol grip but cant make up my mind. Thanks for the advice, Bill

I picked mine up from Speed Dawg. I replaced a twistedshifterz **** and there is a noticeable quality difference between the two also.

Speed Dawg has good stuff.

Mr. Black

What makes a poor quality shift ****? It's an aluminum ball lol. Well in my case it is. I just don't see how you could make it any better.

Not all ***** are aluminum. The phenolic ***** from speed dawg are night and day better than the twistedshifterz *****. And the logos are embedded inside the ***** from speed dawg as opposed to engraved on the surface

I hate gaudy shift ***** with wacky logos and colors. I much prefer simple and functional. I also hate materials that get extremely hot or cold. Therefore, I prefer Delrin. My previous C5Z had a B&M Ripper shifter with a "C5R" style Delrin ****. My current C5Z has an MGW shifter that I added a Raceseng **** to. It is a 16oz. weighted stainless steel core with a Delrin outer sleeve.

I actually really like the feel of the stock one. But I might try one of those delrin ***** one day. People seem to like them a lot.

Mr. Black

I would love to have this one!

It's low on the priority list though.

I got my white hurst **** for my stock C5 Z06 shifter and it is much better.

Twisted Shifterz, 1 7/8" ivory color, no engraving. I found the 2.25 Hurst much too large, and 2" still a bit larger than I really wanted. Agree with others the factory **** is good, but my touch will erode the leather much too soon. The Twisted Shifterz ball is hollow, of course, with a brass insert. Wall thickness appears to be right around .2" -- probably where the feeling of a quality difference comes from. The Hurst **** appears to be on the order of .4" wall thickness.

If you order one now, check with them first because they weren't shipping to the US because of Covid last time I checked.
