TCarter 03-05-2007, 12:24 PM Am I too late?? and how much to ship to canada?
Current shipping will cover cost to Canada.
ill take one, do i pay now or later? when does it get shipped?
You can pay now, but they wont ship until GB is over so we can get you a good price.
since we have 4 people(you make 4) the price drops.
farfrmnormal 03-05-2007, 01:42 PM If this goes to more people I will probably be in. I will watch the posts. Also, TNT, you should think about posting this on www.clubg5.net. I have put a link in the forum, but if its extended to that forum as well we may get more takers.
pjk91 03-05-2007, 03:35 PM payment sent-- $150
javit24 03-05-2007, 03:47 PM this still on?
farfrmnormal 03-05-2007, 04:59 PM Yes it is - two more ppl and we get the best deal.
TCarter 03-05-2007, 05:07 PM If this goes to more people I will probably be in. I will watch the posts. Also, TNT, you should think about posting this on www.clubg5.net. I have put a link in the forum, but if its extended to that forum as well we may get more takers.
I can not be held responsible if these do not work for the G5's. TWM does not have any information regarding it to fit for the G5 GT. However with that said, if you want to post over there, feel free! Just link them up.
farfrmnormal 03-05-2007, 05:19 PM I know a couple guys with them in their G5's already - linkage, shifters and all other parts are the same on the 2.2L/2.4L cobalt to G5.
TCarter 03-05-2007, 05:26 PM I know a couple guys with them in their G5's already - linkage, shifters and all other parts are the same on the 2.2L/2.4L cobalt to G5.
good to know.
Feel free to post it up.
payment sent-- $150
Payment refunded. Not to be rude, but you must order through the website and that $150 you did send did not cover shipping.
Ive updated the prices on the website.
FuzzzMan 03-05-2007, 05:59 PM how soon do you need payment??
TCarter 03-05-2007, 07:28 PM whenever you want to send it in.
pjk91 03-05-2007, 08:03 PM gotcha. for some reason i though it was free shipping...will order through site anyways!
okay, i re-ordered.
TCarter 03-05-2007, 08:56 PM gotcha. for some reason i though it was free shipping...will order through site anyways!
okay, i re-ordered.
Got it, your order has been placed. I should be sending it out tomarrow.
farfrmnormal 03-05-2007, 10:11 PM TNT how many is this GB at now?
We at 6 yet?
TCarter 03-05-2007, 10:18 PM 4 people on list.
I might have missed more people.
I'll recheck it.
but right now. prices are $150 on site + shipping.
so its $170 total. Shipping is non negotiable.
but only 1 persons paid.
farfrmnormal 03-05-2007, 10:31 PM Ok - see I am gonna be in if it drops to the final price, so if we can get 5 ppl, then I am in. So come on one more person!
FuzzzMan 03-05-2007, 11:40 PM Ok - see I am gonna be in if it drops to the final price, so if we can get 5 ppl, then I am in. So come on one more person!
OK What the heck.. I'm in if you are.. ;)
stickerr 03-06-2007, 01:13 AM Dude, I keep getting a 403 error when I try to add the shifter to the cart!!
For the G5 guys this is part of an email I got from Kevin at TWM.
"Thank you for your interest in our products. You are correct, the short
shifter for the 2.4 G5 is the exact same short shifter kit as the Cobalt. "
farfrmnormal 03-06-2007, 10:53 AM Yay! 6 ppl in? I just think it would be easier to pay the lower price then pay the higher and have to get a refund. I say this because I purchased some projectors and the order was eventually cancelled and I lost 15 bucks due to conversion.
SS_Ry 03-06-2007, 10:56 AM If this is still going by april 1st i may be in....im not allowed to buy parts before my bday haha
gtzjustin 03-06-2007, 11:32 AM depending on price i'm interested. does anyone have and input on use the short shifter and having the arm rest/console?
nramlow2006 03-06-2007, 11:46 AM ill know for sure it im in march 11th...
TCarter 03-06-2007, 12:02 PM I'll extend this offer until 3/31/07. After that, the price will go up.
FuzzzMan 03-06-2007, 01:41 PM OK so are we at 145.00 plush shipping or still 150.00?? and is shipping 20.00 or did you drop it to 15.00 like you said in post #12... I'm only asking to get a total so I can order.. ;)
rlinden86 03-06-2007, 02:13 PM does the thing come with directions on how to put it all together cuz i read another post about some other shifters and you have to cut some plastic under the emergency brake to fit the shifter in or something what do you guys know let me know.
ryan.

ryan.
as far as I know it does come with instructions.. you do have to cut but its no big deal and you can also get instruction from the TWM page... and there have been lots of people here that have dun it.. it shouldn't be to tuff
redcobizzylt 03-06-2007, 02:20 PM i am definetly interested
this friday is pay day
if you could private message me and let me how to pay you i would greatly appreciate it
TCarter 03-06-2007, 02:35 PM Yes, all products come with instructions. However, You will receive a email from me pertaining your order, that WILL include the link to the shifter.
If you can get 6+ people, i will drop the price to 145 + $15 shipping.
rlinden86 03-06-2007, 02:39 PM yeah im getting my car out soon so gimme a week i know your sale is on till the end of march so ill think about it. would be nice cuz thats a good price what 150total or so. cool
ryan.
TCarter 03-06-2007, 03:02 PM negative, it'll be like $160ish total.
stickerr 03-06-2007, 11:34 PM I'll be in Rock Falls for work on Friday...is there anyway I could get out of the shipping and just swing by and pick it up??
TCarter 03-06-2007, 11:44 PM Negative, I do not stock them at this location. However you are more than welcome to give me call and we can meet up for a brief few. to check out the cars.
stickerr 03-07-2007, 01:34 AM ok fair enough, I ordered tonight....can't bring the car by for a few because its still in transit from the factory to the dealer!! Hopefully I'll have the car Monday!!
farfrmnormal 03-08-2007, 12:15 AM What are the standings at so far? Payment wise and for sure buyers?
cobalt_driver 03-08-2007, 01:26 AM When is this all over and done with? I might just have to get on this deal. How exactly do we pay? My friend has an ebay account. I normally give him the cash and pays with his debit. Is it the same concept? lol. Sry I'm a NEWB at ordering stuff online.
farfrmnormal 03-08-2007, 10:44 AM TNT has extended this until the end of March - after that the price goes up. I will be in once we get 5 I will be the 6th (Or more) at the $145.00 Price. So lets get an update to who is in and actually paid.
TCarter 03-08-2007, 11:41 AM so far, we have 4 or 5 people on the list ( i forget ) and only 2 ordered.
farfrmnormal 03-08-2007, 02:35 PM Let's go ppl! Buy Buy Buy! lol. Only 24 more days.
TCarter 03-08-2007, 05:22 PM "only" lol.
:twothumbs
pjk91 03-08-2007, 07:47 PM Let's go ppl! Buy Buy Buy! lol. Only 24 more days.
why don't you buy now...and get the refund later? if there is one? because you won't know if there will be a refund...anyways, its not a bad price either.
pics when its in!
farfrmnormal 03-08-2007, 08:40 PM Here is my reason for not buying now - I am a Canadian and exchange rates are changing quite rapidly. I mentioned in a previous post that I purchased Projectors from the GB on here and never received them. I asked for a refund. I got the refund, but at the current exchange rate and lost $15.00US - doesn't seem like a lot, but it adds up. SOOooo if I know that the total count of people paid is at 5 then I can purchase knowing I am getting the final price. If I were living in the states this wouldn't be an issue and I would have ordered already. Also, if we get 6+ the shipping is cheaper.
TCarter 03-08-2007, 09:06 PM Tell ya what, with whats been said.
I'll lower prices right now to 145...but no shipping change.
That'll be the final sale. Those who have paid will get a refund here momentarily.
Price on website: $145 + Shipping.
Extended GB price until: 4/18/07
JPizzle 03-08-2007, 09:12 PM What are the choices for the knobs? I like the stock one. Would it be possible to keep that one w/ the short throw shifter?
TCarter 03-08-2007, 09:33 PM What are the choices for the knobs? I like the stock one. Would it be possible to keep that one w/ the short throw shifter?
Yes. You can keep the stock one, but the one that comes with it is weighted, so it requires less effort to shift.
But you CAN use the stock one, or if you like one you see at autozone..you can use that too.
JPizzle 03-08-2007, 09:40 PM Alright, I will get back to you on that. Thanks!
TCarter 03-09-2007, 08:12 PM np. .
Squeeks 03-12-2007, 09:09 PM humm im in if the deadline is more than like a week or two.
farfrmnormal 03-12-2007, 09:13 PM Deadline is the 18th of next month. If your read previous posts its in there.
farfrmnormal 03-21-2007, 03:05 PM BUMP for a good deal
pjk91 03-21-2007, 10:44 PM i got mine awhile ago, but i havent put it in yet. midterms+college own me. butnext week is spring break so im all set!

javit24 03-22-2007, 10:47 PM Whens the deadline, are you guys shipping as soon as u get the order or do i have to wait till all the orders are in, if this is still on ill place an order by tuesday
TCarter 03-22-2007, 10:55 PM i'll extend it until I feel like canceling it.
I place the orders to be shipped as soon as you order it.

TCarter 03-22-2007, 11:01 PM place your order whenever :)
javit24 03-23-2007, 01:57 PM Sounds good to me, ill place my order on monday!!!
TCarter 03-23-2007, 03:08 PM sounds good. if you order monday, i'll place the order monday, so it'll ship 2-3 days after that.
pjk91 03-26-2007, 03:51 PM Installed and works great. However, I seem to have an "extra part" . It's from the stock unit somewhere, and it must have fell out. I have no idea where it goes but its working fine without it. It's a small plastic piece with a roller bearing on one end and a tiny spring on the other end. It was full of grease so I think it either was or is important.
Any ideas?
RollOver360 03-26-2007, 10:30 PM I want. I tried out a guys short shifter in his 2.4 and it was sick. I just got my tax refund check to. Im in.
later
TCarter 03-26-2007, 10:34 PM coo coo, go ahead and order whenever your ready.
RollOver360 03-27-2007, 12:00 AM coo coo, go ahead and order whenever your ready.
Probably tonight, I got a question though. On the site it says $145 but here is says $155. Did I miss something? I skimmed through quick, probably free shipping or something..
later
I just bought it, sent u the payment via Paypal. Then I should receive the discount at a later date, correct?
Also could u fill me in on the "layaway" feature on ur site, i see the alpine kit is and option..

nick

OH also can u send me info on the layaway thing on ur site?
louiefan 03-29-2007, 06:06 PM i gotta ask, is a short shiver just a shorter stick?
or is there something else into it?
FuzzzMan 03-29-2007, 06:21 PM i gotta ask, is a short shiver just a shorter stick?
or is there something else into it?
There is more into it.. because it actualy shortens the distance between gears aswell.. otherwise you could just saw off your current stick
javit24 04-03-2007, 01:53 PM Hey If i order this tomorrow afternoon when will it get here
TCarter 04-03-2007, 02:05 PM 3 days? My websites down for maintenance, so if you want to order anything, throw me a email at: sales@tntautosport.com and i'll take care of it.
