how big of a PITA is it to replace the shifter knob (manual),
what is the thread size and who carries the after-market knobs?
Thanks in advance:cheers:

I don't have the threadsize off-hand, but I got an "8-ball" shifter from www.flameball.com.

The quality was perfect! The come highly recommended by lots of Vette guys.

If you are looking for something fancier (or aluminum) then Mid-America/Ecklers have a few.

:thumbsup:

fyi all, the thread size is the same as a c-5 - 9/16X18:cheers:

Really? I wonder why shift knobs are never stated as "for C4 & C5" ... it always seems to be one or the other. Hmm....

I thought they were different as well.

Nope. You put threadlock on the threads. It'll never move once you spin it all the way down and then line it up.:thumbsup:
