Shifter

[rmilnes]

Anyone using a Kirban shifter in their C5? How do you like it?

I've had one for three years now and still love it.... ;bt

I had one in my 2000 convertible, it worked good, I liked the Hurst better.

I have one for sale, only in my car for a month. I like it but I have a special grip that only fits on a Hurst.
The cost would be $125.00. Let me know if you are interested

Thanks everyone for the imput. I just got it, only need to install it at this point and was wondering what to expect.

Shifters in C5's are easy to do......
The hardest part is removing the console and the OEM shift knob... :D

It really is an ez job though, I've done 3 of them...

Here is a very good install tutorial for you

Thanks allot Glenn. Is there anything I need to know from a torque standpoint?

[Bill Burkholder]

I had NO problem doing mine....well I didn't do it by myself, Bob Rosenberg came to my house and did 99% of the job. It only took a few minutes to do it and Bob did a great job. He even knew that one screw that almost everyone forgets to remove. It took less than 1/2 hr. from start to finish. Again......Thanks Bob!!!! ;bt

Glenn,
Do you have anything on how to remove an automatic shifter knob. I can 't figure it out.
