I did a Revitup racing event where you could take a Cobalt SS/SC around a practice course...pretty much as hard as you want...

With quick, hard shifting, and taking corners hard as well, I notice the shifter "kicking" back on shifts....(is the entire motor and tranny moving enough to feel it back to my hand?)

Is this normal for the Cobalt SS/SC?

It also made me wonder about people complaining about broken shifters...I can understand it, with the thing kicking back like that...must be a fair amount of stress on it...

 

You will the feel the shifter move, when driving hard and in third gear you can feel is kinda grinding. I have felt this since I got the car and so far its all good. As well sometimes it will feel like the shifter pops out of gear when you go to shift, I dont think this is a good thing but hasnt happened that much and everything is still runnin fine.
