Broken Cable Clamp

Well I was another victim of the broken cable clamp on the ss/tc. I am wondering if anyone has the BilletProShop version? The TWM is 100$ which is pretty pricey. I am wondering what everyone thinks of these two replacements?

If I had to buy one I'd get the BPS. TWM is pretty good but 100$ for a small piece of metal, no way!

I have the TWM. It's difficult to get at the last allen screw and has popped off the bottom of my TWM shifter once. It's far far better than the OEM plastic, but I too am interested in looking at the bps setup and comparing them.

Yes, anything is better than the OEM plastic junk. BPS looks like a well engineered piece too.

I am thoroughly pleased with my BPS cable clamp, before you install the cable clamp make sure you have a snap ring plier.
Not that this pertains to OP, but these cable clamps are also compatible with the base Cobalts (LS/2.2/F23)...

Yes the F23 is the same trans on the 2.4 and 2.2 so you can order that. Just installed a short shifter today and if I would have known that ahead of time I would have gotten that piece.

So it looks like I'll be ordering a Cosmo Racing STS, and BPS cable clamp and steel bushings.
