how many people are scared to nls because the linkage might break?

 

Im scared now after i just broke mine

 

Get a short throw!

Mine broke, got it fixed, got the ARK short throw, and, its been love ever since.

 

well just so u guys know anyway i driving just fine on my broken one right now. i had a part to help make it hold together better and will be testing it out at the track soon. i broke mine last friday and after this part i have been driving with the broken scene then. it been working fine and feels like a new one.

 

Someone on here did a mod to attach the plastic linkage with small bolts, I copied this method, by drilling the steel ball and tapping it for a machine screw, I then attached the plastic cup, screwed it down with just a TINY bit of play, perfection.

 

what steel ball u talking about? my cable breaks at where the cable connects to the black bracket. there a spring that shots out.

 

mine has been popping of the steel ball on the bottom of the shifter when I do 2-3 shift so I have to granny shift till I can get it to the dealer

 

A short throw replaces the plastic piece?

 

No, it gives the joint a different angle though, and you don't throw it as far either.

 

oh ok u like the ark short throw?

 

Love it. Like the feel, throw, and look of it.

I got mine with the reverse lockout.

 

I know RYRO14 has broken his shift linkage like 4 times, and he is scared to NLS from 2-3, and I don't blame him. But we need a good fix for this.

So a STS would fix the problem? That's very promising news!

 

I have broken mine 2 times already. So I would love is someone actually comes with a permanent fix for this!

 

not I said this guy!

no a sts wont fix it. The "fix" is bolting the lines instead of the pastic that is holding it.

 

I was the one that posted the mod with a small bolt thru the 2 pieces. It does work but it's only a temp fix!!!

I was able to buy just those clip pieces from a guy on Ebay for $25 shipped. He had plenty of them!

 

see mine hasent broke where others have. mine been breaking where it connects to the support bracket on the transmission. not under the shifter. i have never had this problem with any fwd drive 5 speed tranny car. owned 1989 dodge daytona 2001 z24 cavalier 2003 ls sport cavalier. i raced those more then i have raced the cobalt.

 

Busted the plastic ring clean in half on the right hand side cable, dealer replaced it then I used the shifter adjustment procedure and so far its working great the ironic part is the morning I took it out and busted the cable I had just read the adjustment thread and was gonna do it but decided to wait till I got back, worst part is I was showing a buddy the GMS1 power difference and how hard it pulled launched hard went from 2nd to 3rd and the cable end popped and the shifter went limp coasted to a stop and called roadside assistance. I am getting my money back from GM one tow at a time lol

 

i heard about a lot of people having problems with the nls

 

Anybody have the link to the adjustment thread

 

I searched Short Shifter in the how to section and found it

 

i did the adjustment then it broke (i didnt nls into second). what was funny i zip tied it to get it home and it worked lol. i dont have a camera right now or i would show where mine breaks all the time.

 

BYT i messaged you on FB regaurding this
