Shifter Upgrade for 3.5L V6 - Benefits and Pictures

The MTI Racing Six Shooter Shifter is the best upgrade you can make to your Camaro. With it's precise feel and smooth shifting action the Six Shooter Shifter is the obvious choice. The shifter addresses all the shortcomings of the vague mushy feeling stock OEM shifter. The MTI Racing shifter is engineered with better materials, shorter throw, and a better overall feel. Now you can get rid of that stock numb, rubbery factory shifter and replace it with the Six Shooter Shifter and confidently go through the gears with precision. The throw is reduced by approximately 25% and a HUGE improvement in feel.

Let's take a look at the benefits of the Six Shooter Shifter over the stock OEM Shifter.

-Problem-
The stock OEM shifter is made using a 4-pc shaft that is bushed with rubber, a pressed-on ball joint, and a welded-on pivot that holds a shaft bearing attached to rubber linkage bushings.
-MTI Racing Solution-
The new MTI Racing Six Shooter Shifter is made of high quality stainless steel with a 1-pc ball machined directly into the lower stick, and a roller bearing at the base shift rod link.

-Problem-
The stock OEM shifter is installed with rubber bushings that will give you that rubbery vague feel
-MTI Racing Solution-
The kit also replaces the stock rubber bushings with durable delrin composite bushings, increasing the overall strength and life of the shifter assembly.

-Problem-
The stock OEM shifter uses a sleeve bearing to connect to the shift rod and can cause friction and will wear over time and get sloppy.
-MTI Racing Solution-
We machined the bottom of the Six Shooter Shifter to accept a specially made roller bearing so there is no friction to give the shifter the smooth precise feel you deserve.








The kit includes all the components to convert the shifter assembly and its internal hardware with the highest quality components, while retaining the factory housing. The new shifter is designed to use the stock shift knob or an aftermarket knob. The throw reduction is around 25%. We have tested over and over different throw reductions, and we felt that the final version provided the best overall confidence in shifting.

Made in the USA.
