I think it's just a hard fit for the c6. The shifter was for a c6, but you have to cut the threaded rod, and adjust angle when instaled to the tranny, your's sounds a lot more straight forward!

No, you have to do the same steps with LOKAR. The shifter can mount in any position on the mounting rails, depending on where you want the stick relative to the dash & seats. Once set the shifter arm is to be at/near the 4:30 clock position in PARK, and tranny arm also in PARK. Measure hole to hole, subtract 1.75" for the rod ends and cut the threaded rod to length. I needed to put a little dog-leg at the shifter end of the all thread rod to clear a "bump" on the tranny, but easy to do without heat. The key is that when you cycle through, and end up in PARK you should be able to pull a bolt out of either end of the rod and it fits back into the hole on the arm without any friction - both the shifter and the tranny are in their detent positions, and the rod fits between with ease. If you have it adjusted for that fit then every shifter position detent should correspond to a tranny detent. I do remember that they said if the shifter is mounted to the extreme forward position then the shifter arm needs to be moved to around the 4:00 position to work smoothly. All of that worked fine for me. It was only the NSS that caused a bit of frustration, and I managed to make that work with only a bit of free-styling.
