Hi all,
Just acquired a heavily modded 11 coupe m6. Surprisingly, the shifter is stock (loose, long throws ). Does anyone know of a good stiff short throw replacement that is not too difficult to swap out ? I’m decently handy, but not an expert, and I don’t feel like having a shop do it. Thank you in advance. -Mike

Core shifter for the win. Slightly notchy but solid engagement.

Hi and thank you for the quick response. Forgive me , but what exactly do you mean by slightly notchy? Thx

The OE unit has a rubbery/isolated/unfettered feel when you push the lever from one gear to the next. The Core needs a decidedly more forceful input from you to get from gear to gear.....you feel the snugness and hear the metallic click as you leave one gate and enter the next. It's a positive physical and audible reinforcement of what you're doing, controlling and feeling each shift. I absolutely love the lack of the Cadillac feel in this department.

Oh yes , that is what I’m looking for. Thank you for the detailed explanation sir. Reminds me of the c5 z06 I had a few years ago. Solid, stiff, positive shifts. The stock shifter feels like I’m shifting a Camry. It’s odd because the last owner spent a lot of coin on the performance mods, but left the shifter in the shadows

+1 for the core shifter.

Another happy Core owner. Night and day difference and a must have in my opinion.

Core also gives you the option to keep your stock shifter if thats your thing

Core in my '11 Coupe. One of the few mods that is a true must-have, even if the car 100% stock otherwise.

Installed my Core shifter two weeks ago and wondered how I drove the car for 10 years with the stock shifter. Love the precise gate feel an I am even shifting smoother. Easy 3 hour installation for me.

I love my Creative Steel shifter. Had it for 4yrs+. It does allow you some height adjustment which I like because I wanted it to fit me. Quality product as well. 100% worth the look before you buy.

I shopped around last year after my purchase of a 2014 MN6 coupe. Core Shifter was available and glad I put it in. Added Hurst handle for the classic muscle car look.
