How makes a good one and where can I buy it?

 

An assortment of short throw shifters are available. To be extact, try turbotechracing.com or gravanatuning.com, modernperformance.com is good also. Choose your type of car and model. The shifters I believe are universal to every applications from coupe to sedan.

Try to stay away from B&M unless you change the shift knob (feels cheap). The hurst shifter is nice from what I heard but is not available for quite some time. Hope this answers your questions

 

thx...gonna go with b and m cuz there a could name and good quality, will just put stock knob on.

 

Hurst is for the 2.0 Tranny only and is supposed to be out later this month/early next month. Same with B&M, but I don't know if there's some way to make it work by bypassing the reverse lockout part or not. TWM is the only one for sure that makes one for the 2.2/2.4 Cobalts.

 

I have a 2.4 and i got the TWM. Actually it came to the house yesterday. I'll let you know how it goes once I get around to putting it in.

 

I'd be interested if you got this to work alright. If so, where did you buy it and how much? Let us know when you get it in!

 

how come modernperformance says they have a short shifter for the 2.2/2.4 from b and m

 

I tell ya, they need to get their 2.4L section updated!

 

Here's the same B&M shifter at RK Sport, notice it says "WILL ONLY FIT SS MODELS" (they only have for 2005 model year, so it's SS/SC only) even though it shows up when you search for 2.2L. And also at TurboTech

The only 2.2/2.4 specific short throw is the TWM for now.

 

I own a '06 SS 2.4 sedan.
I purchased a short throw from a company on EBay email AR2inc@gmail.com. Price was $65.00 & $10.00 shipping. It was great quality and easy enough to install, (about an hour) REDUCED THROW APPROX 40-50%!!!! Email me with questions if you like.

heyyy u guys dont like the bandm short throw shifter for the ss?? iv heard it kinda has a cheap feeling but have heard its pretty awesome.... just wonderin u guys think i should put one on... and is it easy enough to do it urself???
thnks ry

 

Well I finally have a day off of work tomorrow, but first thing in the morning I'm gonna get my Sportlines installed. They said they should be done by mid-afternoon so after that I'm gonna put in the short shifter.

Just remember when buying parts for our 2.4 that we have the same suspension as the S/C but the same transmission as the base cobalts.

 

with that TWM, does it allow for the stock boot and knob to be put back on? let us know how it goes on!

 

any up dates???
