Slap/ratchet/bang shifter would only be eye candy in the 2006 and up automatic Cobalts with the L-I-D shift pattern. You have practicaly zero control of the tranny's shift points so a Slap/ratchet/bang shifter wouldn't work like you want it to.

If you have a 2005 with the 1-2-3-D pattern maybe it would work -- I don't have any experience with these.

Anybody with a 2005 auto -- do you have control of the upshifts with your stock shifter?

correct, but with all of em u have controll, u have to know how to use it..... 1 or L = first gear until 6500 then shift to second and lock in second........ 2 or I(sport mode)=1 to 2 gear shft is normal, 2nd gear shifts to third at 6500 and locks into 3rd(direct drive) eliminating overdrive.... so with the ratchet shifter u go from 1/L and when u hit second gear, shift to 2/I, then you will hold your third gear, and then at the end of a race push it into D before letting off gas to refrain from overworking the tranny

I'm sure it will work if you can find one with 1-2-D-N-R-P

Autos are better for bracket racing - more consistent.
