Can someone tell me if the Hurst short throw shifter advertised for 05-07 SS will work in my 09 without modifying?

 

the hurst works i installed one in my 09 but the way they made it sucks so dont buy it..to hold the shifter in place they use a retaining clipand it doesnt last long...within a few weeks my shifter was spinning around inside my car like a merry go round...

i have the B&M now which is the same company but they use two hex screws to hold the shifter in place and ive been running it for about two weeks now and its as tight as the day i installed it...it took a few hours getten use to how tight the gears were and where to put it but after that its awesome i wouldnt trade it for the world.

 

Thanks for that. I've looked at both models. I'll just go with the B&M because I can't abide a loose shift knob. Do you know if the Momo knobs work on them?

 

The TWM Performance SS/TC short shifter fits the 09 with no modifications and is shorter in height and throw than the B&M and Hurst shifters.

Our short shifter has received great reviews on the forum, and you can save $25 on it this month. Check it out: TWM Performance SS/TC short shifter

i dont know if the momo works but i know the sparco does....i have the sparco x shift knob on my and its not the knob on the hurst that loosens its the entire unit...i dont know any thing about the twm so i cant speak on them i do know they are about 100 bucks more tho and there is a thread in here on how to shorten the B&M to be even shorter, but the guy who made the thread i pm'd him and he did mine for me and sent it back...

 

That TWM looks like a nice setup. I may have to give that one a shot. I like that it's even shorter in height and throw.

 

Thanks We designed it to have the shortest throw and height possible while still retaining the reverse lock. It's also available with 5 different upgraded stainless steel weighted shift knob finishes as well which have been quite popular with forum members who have ordered.

Thanks,

not to knock anything anyone is doing but those other knobs they sell are another 100 bucks plus the shifter itself is 100 more than B&M and hurst of which i dont understand why but ok.... to each their own.

 

Does anyone make one for the 2.2L? Id like to put an STS on my LT2.

 

We have a short shifter available for the standard Cobalt, check out this link:

GET THE TWM. You don't need to upgrade the shift knob unless you want it to be weighted, because the aluminum one it comes with is very nice. MOMO shift knobs go for just as much money, btw.

 

I have the TWM and I am very pleased with it. If you can afford it, get the weighted knob. I tried the "Others" before TWM came out with theres and the TWM is the best by far.

 

Any body have any pics of the TWM installed ????

I myself have been looking at short throw kits, i like the hurst but i found a shift knob i really REALLY like...but i dont know if i can use it with the hurst or any other short throw kit.....Dunno if the reverse lockout has to vave a special knob...


Anyways heres the knob i want..http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...1%7C240%3A1318

AND again ... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...4506.m20.l1116

 

never had a problem with my hurst, id blame the install

 

I never had problems either. I just didn't like the way the shifter felt at all compared to even the stock SS/TC one. The TWM is worlds better then any of the other options. They really did their homework on this one!

 

why in holy hell is that shift knob 214 bucks....why

 

Quality I have no idea, i just like the way it looks and the fact that no one else has one like it..I like to be different

 

I'm guessing because it's made from Titanium and not the usual stainless steel oir billet. Not sure if that justifies the price or not to be honest but it would raise it at least a bit.

 

Gold plated, and then covered up with a coating?


Maybe it is like the "pot of gold" candy

For the price the B&M is the best choice for your $ IMO

Hey Kevin can you please tell me if the Momo shift knobs work on this shifter? I really want this set up but I dont want to use the stainless knob it comes with. Also, are you still offering the $25 off now? And if I make a special request is it possible to save another few bucks if you dont send the shift knob? Thanks.

 

PM'd back.
