MGW Shift Kit installed

My Z06 came with an aftermarket lower shift box and shifter, and it has always been not smooth to shift. I even installed a Hurst upper shifter, but the lower was still bad. I cleaned out and greased the shift bar in lower box, but still the same.
I decided to go with MGW flat stick red short throw with white ball, the best full kit available for my Z06.
The install was very straight forward and I just watched the install videos on my phone. There is a huge difference with the






short smooth shifts. Also looks cool.
I highly recommend this full kit as an upgrade and it’s worth every penny.

Z06 AutoX at Marina 2019


New ride for 2019

2004 Z06 Torch Red!!!
Sold the C3 75Vette and moved back into a C5. Much more room and HP!
The C5 Z06 is set up for track and autocross from the factory. This is the best bang for your buck $$$  for autocross.
When I bought this Z06 it only had 55K miles and was in very good shape. The old owner has done some modifications and upgrades that I will enjoy. New C6 ZR1 black red line rims and I upgraded to Toyo R888R wheels! Borla Stinger dual exhaust system was on the Z06, and I had to replace both Cats and added X-Pipe to improve the system.
Matt at GP Tuner did a great job tuning the Z06 to 377 RWHP!  Made a huge difference at my first AutoX event.
I did a major interior upgrade, pulled out interior and added sound Matt and heat shield from firewall to trunk. This has made a huge difference and no heat issues.
Nice touch was a upgraded double din stereo with backup camera. I had to connect the Bluetooth and now phone works.
There is a speed bleeding kit installed and it takes minutes to flush out clutch fluid.
I upgraded brake Hawk pads and changed all fluids with Amsoil products.
LED head lights and switch back DRL’s have been added to Z06.
This Z06 is a very competitive AutoX car and I’m improving my times. I hope to be within the top times of the day very soon.
I will post AutoX video’s during the season.
