I just put a MGW on my C5 Z06 and it's 100% better than stock. Tight and right is all I can say. And they're made in Augusta Georgia, not China. Thumbs up!!

Yeah I was pretty hesitant over the high price tag of the mgw, but after driving it, I think it was way worth it. Enjoy your shifter!

ZentRose Vengeance Racing put a cam, short throw, and GM T1 sway bars in my vette 2 weeks ago. This is a top notch , professional company that uses MGW exclusively. Now I know why. If you'd like, check the video the day it came out of the shop. Look up "Vengeance Racing VRX3 cam C5 Z06". It's not an exciting vid but the sound of the vette is. Thanks man!!

This is my first priority for next year on my 99 coupe. The anti venom mod helped a bit, but shifting into second is still a challenge at times. Thanks for the post!

are you going to make more of these videos? I'd realy like to see it as a 6 or 7 part series. There are a lot of people torn when considering a purchase between these two track toys so this is the best video series on youtube for that. You're great at explaining the benefits of each car and seem knowledgeable having worked on both.

It seems like there is still a lot of wheel hop on the 1-2 shift even with the C6Z shocks. I've heard the Bilsteins help eliminate the wheel hop.
@ChefofWar33Ай бұрын
Tires prolly are more important. Also, when its cold, its way worse. Wheel hop on the C5 is a pain in the ass to eliminate without solid mounting both your engine and tranny. But at that point it would be very uncomfortable to drive.

Replace trans fluid and fresh bleed on the clutch hydraulics will usually help crunchy shifts.

I just purchased a 99 trans am 2 weeks ago.... I’ve got the skip shift eliminated and I have owned a couple a sticks prior. 99 Honda EK hatch and a geo prizm.... The trans am shifter SUUUUUUUCKS. Sooooo notchy. I would literally trade it out for the one in my 97 geo prism (corolla)

Also on my limited budget I am looking into Nitto tires as the tires on my car (just got it couple of weeks ago ) . What do you think , I want to use this car as a daily driver . Thank you

It's well known the S2k have one of the best (if not the best) shifters :) I never drove a car which have that good shifter. I miss that even in my NSX. (I've tried the ND mx5 , DC2, FK2. etc etc..)

Try the Hinson shifter Zent. I just purchased one for my frc. Going to be doing the install along with the anti-venom mod. The Hinson is stupid in the short shift department. Shortest shifts you can get. Even shorter shifts than the SSK shifter that was in my E90 330i.
@joeracer3026 жыл бұрын
Franco Channel the Hinson is a shorter throw but a lot more force is required to shift. Lots of people do not like that. There is more to a fast shift than just throw distance.
@franco8046 жыл бұрын
joeracer302 you are correct. That Hinson shifter was a damn joke. I sold mine. I literally installed it and took it out the same minute I put it in. As a matter of fact, I was doing a side by side comparison with another friend who has one. My shifts with the stock shifter were just as fast if not faster, than him with his Hinson. I went with a C6 shifter. I also mentioned this to Zent on Instagram.

Nope this car had a brand new tranny in it from GM. According to the records it had a second and third gear grind prior and they tossed in a new gear box.

What’s the anti venom mod? Where you get the c6 zo6 shocks?
@ZentRose6 жыл бұрын
The anti venom mod involves throwing a couple spacers on the detent plug in the trans. link: goo.gl/rh8jXD For the shocks I just used google shopping to find the lowest price.
@joeracer3026 жыл бұрын
California Z06 anti-venom mod makes shifting less notchy, which is really good to do with an aftermarket shifter, but works fine with stock shifter too. It’s just putting a washer/space on the detent plug so it doesn’t go in as far. It’s real easy to do, and if you don’t like the way it feels you can add more washers or go back to stock easily too.
