Just ordered a flat stick for my c6z. Can’t wait. I RARELY miss gears in any other cars, always miss 3rd with my stock c6z shifter.

One fail on mgw's part with this shifter is no cover for the bottom of the assembly to protect the guts grom all the gunk and crap that accumulate during use!! Just take a piece of scrap rubber, cut to fit, and glue it to the bottom!!

Thanks for this video, i have some videos on my channel too. I just put my 2007 corvette in storage, and am considering getting a MGW for mine too. It seems like my stock shifter doesnt quite shift all the way into first sometimes (causing some grinding sound on take off only) and in reverse too. I wonder if just getting this shifter will fix that issue
@MitchCarveth4 жыл бұрын
I'm thinking the bushing on the bottom of your shifter is worn out or getting worn and its not allowing you to get all the way in those gears. thats just my guess without being able to check it out lol I do recommend the MGW for sure though!

Hi Mitch Thanks for your reply. I live in Australia, there are not many ZO6 C6 on the road. Hence doing Mods to my car is a challenge as I can not see, listen to mods first hand. I have looked at the Borla systems on You Tube and am very interested in them. Does your current system drone? I do not want a droning noise in the small cabin.!! FYI I have a 2010 Z06 C6 in silver, which had to be converted to RHD when I sent it home from Saudi. Do you have a video on your current exhaust system. Thanks Robert
@MitchCarveth4 жыл бұрын
Sorry for the late response, That sounds like it would defiantly be a pain to decide on parts. I have basically zero drone! honestly they tires i have are louder on the highway than the exhaust when cruising at 70-80 mph. Side note, I love silver ZO6's!

I went with MGW because it's spring assested to center wich makes finding third so much easier. Quality to me is a bit better than Hurst and Henson as well.

I just put this exact shifter in my 2006 ZO6 and I hate it, I can't shift to save my life anymore and I never missed a gear with the stock shifter. It's almost impossible to get into reverse, it's unbelievably stiff and I miss gears left and right and often hit neutral when I'm trying to go between gears and redline the car. Huge waste of money!

@@MitchCarveth Does it feel like you have to really try for 6th at all or is it super nice to throw it in? The b&m in mine makes it a bit of a challenge to hold over and put in 6th gear. I mean not stupid hard but harder than any other gear for sure.
