You would regret getting anything else than this:

Chevrolet Cobalt SS/SC and SS/TC Short Shifters - TWM Performance

Don't waste your time with anything BUT TWM!
It's the only way to go for a superb short shifter.


Clamp and bushings. I have the abrams shift knob and it's great. All depends on what your preference is. It feels like it has some good weight to it. Shifts very easy and smooth.

B&M if you want a good bargain. TWM is nice, but having a metal shift knob sucks. I got sick of waiting for a delrin version, so I had a friend cut one for me. The B&M is a very nice shifter too. I've had both.

Get the B&M. I've had it for 5 years now and it's the best short shifter I have ever used. I modified it by cutting approx 2" off of it and adding a Sparco knob. It looks amazing and was still cheaper than the TWM even with the $75 Sparco shift knob.
