I read that if you put the C6 shifter in a C5 it shifts much smoother.
Has anyone done this?
It costs $195 from GM partshouse

I have a C6 Z06 shifter in my C5 and its 1000% better that the stock C5 shifter. Its not as stiff as most of the aftermarket performance shifters and very precise as compared to the C5 version. I did the install myself as its fairly easy, but I'm sure Manny can take care of it for you.
With a lot of the aftermarket stuff, as in the old days, they went to very short throws. Sounds good in theory, but you do lose mechanical leverage which makes them harder to shift from a mechanical stand point. Some of the old aftermarket shifters had two different sets of holes that you could use depending on whether you wanted the long or short throw. I always used the longer throw and never had the slightest problem shifting and that covers well over 250K miles. Give me quality parts. I don't need hype. Our '05 shifts just fine the way it is although it might work a little better with a longer throw and a little more leverage.
