Just put an alta in my '05 on sunday...fits like a glove. Don't think B&M released the 04+ SS yet...I just tried calling them, but they're closed.

**** issue

Do you know if the special MC40 shift **** will work with the Alta SS kit? I am interested but would like to use the MC40 ****.

If it's anything like the other stock shift ***** (which I can't see how it could be different) then no. The stock shift rod has a notch where the **** clicks into...the alta doesn't have such a notch.

I'm sure you could certainly rig something up though

Stock on left, alta on right:
