There is a HUGE difference in stage 1 and 2 in regular everyday driving. at highway speeds it is not at noticeable.

Nice video's viper way to chirp second. +rep for you

 

so when its install...just put the stage u wanted and basically hit the gas and drive

is it worth getting?

 

Yes and YES and YES!!!

 

ok...i would put that on my due list....s/c swap comes first lol

 

no way buddy... im telling you. shiftplus. do it yesterday. you can put the SC swap off by $30

 

I would still get the SC for sure but the Shift+ dude...you can see the difference and it's cheap. And normaly I set it when I'm already in D or L, when you set it in park it will give you a lunge from P to D or P to R, but I have heard Cavy owners have had them on all the time for 10K+ miles and no harm, I will try and get a quick vid of the shifting from Park to Drive and Reverse.

Thanks OrngBalt for the rep, did you ever upload those pics I sent you for the How To for the bowtie?

 

Unforunately no.... i pulled a noob move and accidentally deleted my inbox.

BTW i keep mine on all the time and I have over 3000 miles on it already

 

i already have the blower...i just need other parts for it to finish the swap but yea def...i'll keep in mine...this helps us keep up with manual cars right? how hard to install?

 

Piece of cake to install. Slide a wire through your firewall, tap two wires and flip a switch. you're done

You have an SS so you can tune. Install this and get someone to tune your transmission and you will slaughter 99.9% of manuals. Remember, the reason manuals have an advantage stock is because their shifts are faster. this and a tune will give you instant shifts and will NEVER slip meaning you will flawlessly shift through gears faster than most drivers.

 

what u u mean tap through wires do u neef to tape wire to wire?

 

it comes with wire taps. all you do is put the two wires together in the clip and snap it shut.... it has metal that will sheer the insulation and make a connection between the two. I personally stripped the insulation on the transmission wire and wrapped the wire from teh shiftplus into and and taped it up

 

I did the same with some butt splices, very tight working area though, plus I did it at like 9pm when I got off work.

 

damn how did u see?

 

Small shop light, but pain in the ass, I'm a ride tech for an amusment park so I'm use to stuff like that, just takes time.

 

lol was that a CEL in that video? i ordered one just to check it out, lets see

 

Nah.....TC light and Seat Belt light.

 

how would this work with a tune/ because with the tune im getting Its going to be making better shift times itself so will this change that or what:?/

 

Ok I know what my next mod will be! Thanks to all!

 

Well with a tune you can be more persistant, but with the B&M Shift+ it just increases the pressure through the transmission, that's what the kit does, but as for both I'm don't know anyone that has done that? But it's your choice what you want to do, transmission tune, stays on all the time, B&M can be switched off. And also I have been able to compare side-by-side of the B&M and tune, but a guy I know owns a SS like mine and I ran him half mile and was almost 4 cars, with my CAI, but still a pretty big difference, but I will try and talk him into a tune so I can do a side-by-side test.

Hopefully I answered what you want to know....rep.

 

has anyone gone to the track to get some runs with it off, stage 1, and stage 2

 

We have sold hundreds of these already and they seem to be working great. No one has notified us yet of having any issues on this item at all.

Here is a link as well as a picture of the item.
B&M Shift Plus

 

Me and some local J-Body's are probably going to do a Oct-Dec. Track day, when the weather cools down.

 

i hear there is some confusion as to the 2006 SS models? orange wire ? does this come with some pretty nice instructions ? i bought mine, and it should be at home right now, but anxious before i get home...

EDIT: got the orange **** all straight, required me to pay attention lol

 

LOL....pfft...instructions. Check out HackAbuse's How To, the instructions it comes with is just telling you kinda how to wire it to what connections not specific to the Cobalt. And yes, the 06 Balt's and up are orange wires I believe.

Edit: Do not use the quick connects, use some butt splices or male/female connectors, eventualy the quick connects will cut the wire completly causing no connection....maybe damage.

 

im sure a company like B&M will give you some good instructions
