Does that kind of shifter even have a boot for it?

 

that thing is the boot the bare look is the boot

 

not sure. have you considered making one yourself? i'm not sure anyone is going to carry a shift setup like that that will fit right into a cobalt.

 

Thats a 'Gated Shift' no boot just a shaft...

 

i'm not that creative lol but if there is anyone who can make one for the cobalt i'd be glad to buy one off of you of course with included instructions since i wouldn't know how to put it in :P

ahh thanks! i didn't know what it was called lol

 

its pretty sweet looking

 

id buy one if someone made em

 

well i'm not a big custom fab guy, BUT, i know some. and i'm sure we could come up with something. give me a few days to ask around and see what i can do.

 

I don't think it is possible in a FWD set up.

We use cables, that setup is usually used in RWD where you are shifting the car directly with the gear selector

 

your threads get better and better every day dude keep um coming

 

Dude he just doesn't know.

Ease up.

 

i had thought about this becuase even though we use cables the shifter is still ending up in a certain position for each gear so why couldnt you fab a plate up like that

 

Yeah I don't really know much about cars. I'm the only 1 outta all my friends that drives, so I never really had any friends to learn from or anything like that. Which is why I come to forums like these to ask questions and for some help.

ok awesome

 

Because the shifts are not absolute.

Put the shifter in gear.

Try to move it around, you need that flex with the cables

 

that wouldnt be too good if you were interested in shifting fast or racing. seems like it could get in the way.

 

Exactly

 

i dont race so wouldn't bother me

 

It would bother you driving.

Praticalilty is why you got a sedan right?

Why make it so it is a bitch to drive?

 

It looks like a pain, youd go to shift and then miss the slot and have to jiggle the shifter around to get it in gear. big pain

 

exactly you make the slots a little wider to accommodate that

 

Simple fix, open the gates a little more.

 

That still might not be enough though! Our shifters are pretty loose and slopy. If they are gated you could have probelms shifting. I guess that there is only one way to find out for sure though!
