I wanted to get the armrest for my car 09 ss and I went on crateenginedepot and found it but it says for automatic transmissions only I was just wonder why is that? And is it possible to put it in wit manual?

 

It'll work fine, many guys have done it.

 

It works fine. I have one in my 09 SS.

 

Not to be a dick, but there are tons of threads about this. A simple search would of taken care of this. But yes, it fits. No idea why GM says "Automatic Only" All of the center consoles are the exact same, and it dosen't get in the way of anything

 

It doesn't really "fit" in between the seats when you flip it up, which you have to do everytime you pull up on the parking brake. It gets in the way of your elbow, when shifting, which is why it says it's only for automatics. Worst piece of trash I ever installed on my car. Came off the very next day.

 

Mine fits fine between the seats, I can fully pull the ebrake without lifting the armrest, and my elbow doesn't hit when shifting. It makes basic shifting really easy actually because its in the perfect spot for you to rest your arm and shift slowly

No doubt the best thing I installed on my car IMO. Been on since a week after I got the car and its staying for sure.

 

i guess it depends on how tall you are and where your seat is adjusted :P

 

If you think about it people driving automatics generally prefer to use the park function rather than the Ebrake. The armrest does interfere, if only slightly, with the operation of the Ebrake handle, but only in the down position. Raise it and there is no interference at all. UNLESS you're a caveman! GM was probably trying to cover all the safety bases to cover the people that bought the thing only to have to buy it back from the clueless people who bought it and complained about having to raise it to apply the Ebrake. If a car maker was allowed to produce a car that anybody with common sense could operate the price of cars would go down by a bunch. Doctors and lawyers are some very intelligent people, I think, but have a very hard time figuring out how to change a flat tire. That's why BMW was the first with run flats.

 

I got it in my TC and i love it!!

 

i test drove a cobalt with the arm rest and i almost swore off cobalts... its the worst piece of garbage out there. luckily the second cobalt i test drove didnt have one
