The operation of the RL is much more smoother on ours.

Plus, it's also the most aggressive both in height and throw reduction. I don't believe any other vendors stock our Cobalt short shifter, you can buy it directly from our site on the following link:

I will be ordering shortly, which knob is on special ? (weighted)....I would like the largest diameter knob...

Hello RJT,

If you order a shift knob with the purchase of a short shifter, you get 15$ - 20$ off of the shift knob! The shift knob with the largest diameter is the M1 Abrams which is 2 inches wide

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!

Thanks,

Patrick

Installed a TWM yesterday in my car. I love it. The hardest part was getting the stock shift knob off. That part took like 15 minutes it just wouldn't come off.

Yep, it's the only annoying part of the installation, the rest is extremely easy. Thanks for the feedback!

Great thread. I was looking at sts for a long time and this definitely helped me with my decision. A+ to TWM Performance for reading and replying to threads.

How long/hard was it to instal your shifter? Would you recommend getting the bushings?

agreed. Hurst actually is longer than the stock slightly. B&M i believe i just an OEM replacement. TWM is the nicest, but it's kind of expensive. You should just cut your stock one. Easy way to knock off a full inch off the shifter.

Not sure. Maybe $100 shipped with box and instructions, but w/o shifter base bushings. Bushings can be found for around $20 online.

I miss the stock shifter. Probably gonna put it back in this week if I get bored enough.
