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.

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.

good to know.

Feel free to post it up.

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.

I might have missed more people.

I'll recheck it.

but only 1 persons paid.

farfrmnormal

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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..

There is more into it.. because it actualy shortens the distance between gears aswell.. otherwise you could just saw off your current stick
