Ok guys so Its been a while since ive gotten to post on here & i hve a question abut the hurst sts. I installed it a while ago & it doesnt feel any shorter than stock...in fact the only thing really different about it is 5th gear doesnt go over as far as when it was stock.


So my question to you all is,is there any way to shorten the cables or something??? Ive heard of some guys/girls doing that. still fairly new to the cobalt

Any help/input would be awesome!!thanks

technically the SS comes stock with a STS. so any aftermarket STS u put in u probably wont notice much of a difference. I did notice a little difference with my TWM STS but its not a whole lot.

 

It's not a short throw because of the height, it's a short throw because of the shift ratio from gear to gear. Hurst and B&M do nothing for that. TWM actually reduces shifting distance by 33% (At least that's what they advertise). And the height of their shifter is one inch shorter than stock.

Don't know how to answer you real question. I don't own a hurst, but I know a few people that do. Lemme see if I can get them to chime in.

 

^ thats right, and just like you mentioned Jeneane, the distance to 5th is shortened.

The hurst is really mostly an aesthetic mod. If you truly want/need a shorter throw, I'd sell the Hurst and pick up a TWM.

 

k...thanks

 

TWM ftw. It is great. I got the weighted knob and brushings too.

 

I know! I just ordered mine from that group buy, and I can't wait to get it!

 

m...i might just do that then lol. i cant stand it cause sometimes ill go to put 5th gear in the same spot as stock and it wont go lol

what does the twm run price wise? and who would wanna buy the hurst

 

i love my hurst. id rebuy it for sure. shifting is a hell of a lot more precise and theres no movement in the shifter anymore. its amazing

 

^^ I wish i could say theres no movement in mine only a little bit tho

 

How is the install on a shifter for the TC?

I really like the looks of the TWM especially with the metal shifting knob

Are the bushings a big upgrade?

 

when i put mine in i played with the cables till they were perfect. i want to order the metal bushings but im afraid ill **** up the position of it and it will be as good as it is now lol.

 

^^ dad & i installed it & he didnt wanna mess with anything. i would really like to find some people around me with cobalts so they can look at it & see if its right

 

I have the hurst, and at first I would try for 5th too far over, but now I am used to the position and slide it right in each time. The husrt and a torque damper firmed up my shifts and it's 100x better then stock

 

I bought the TWM with weighted knob and bushings, easy install, smooth as hell, looks badass, its the greatest thing since sliced bread
