I got a cavy short throw for my 2.4 since ive been seeing that it fits. one thing idk about is the install.. i saw TWM's install but are all short throw setups installed the same? i cant seem to find the cavy install instructions either so im at a loss.

 

cc08 has the same shifter msg him

 

shouldn't be too difficult or that much different. give twm a call, they may be able to help you out.

 

i have one...fits the 2.2 as well...it fits...but is a little loose.

 

he wants to install it help him out

 

yea that^^

about it bein loose. i saw somethin on jbody.org about tightening a nut to keep it from feeling loose.

 

theres no nut to tighten....i just added a third o ring under it to tighten it up.

ok, do you know how to pull the boot off and get to the assembly??

 

yessir..

i believe mine looks like this.

minus the knob.i bought a seperate, better looking one

 

thats what mine looks like more or less.
the boot fitting to the shifter is going to be trial and error for you depending on what it looks like, but usually is just a new sip tie through the loop and tightened at the top to hold it.
once you get the old boot and knob off then youll need to pull three things off.
first, there is a horizontal plastic pin that you need to push in the tabs and then push towards the drivers side. it is in the front side of the shifter and holds the white part in.
when you have that out then rotate the "O" shaped piece at the base of the shifter (holds the ball down) and use a flat tipped screw driver to push in the tabs (three of them) to get it to pop off. you will then need to pull up and towards the passenger side to pull the nub out (attatched to the side of the ball) then pull REALLY hard up to get the bottom ball to pop out.
once you have this youll need to take the plastic piece off the big ball and little side nub and transfer them to the new shifter and then reassemble backwards (dont forget the o rings)...this should do it for you!!!
let me know when you are working on it, and you need help, i have mon, tues, and wed off and illl pm you my number if you want to help with install....done this to my car twice and to a cavi

 

ur the man.. was any cutting needed? and did u actually have to take the entire shifter assembly out?

 

no and no lol
the hardest part is getting the new shifter to snap back into the lower clip....but thats not even that hard, took me about 20 min last time i did it (about a week ago)

 

Just goto TWM site and DL there instructions for the Cobalt, follow them and you'll be golden...

I did do the cutting as per the instructions, others haven't and been ok. Guess it's personal preference

 

i got twm's as back up.. u guys have been a big help.. ill update once i receive my shifter and install it. hopefully this weekend

 

got the pics up..

so no cutting is needed... i think i can follow the instructions. do i need to grease the stuff at all? i see how the ball is supposed to go on. wut do i need to do with the reverse lockout?

 

let me know how you like this shifter i'll prob end up getting the twm tho

 

how did you fix the looseness exactly. and what knob is that cuz i cnt find one with that thread pattern

 

the knob didnt come with it, i bought it seperately..its an ebay company

and ill let u know how it is man.. ill be usin it at the bash.. come find me!

 

i added a third o ring under the ball to push the plastic piece around the ball...made it all good

 

i'll be getting a tune are you coming early?

 

my club is goin early friday morning to clean/prepare. im getting tuned as well.. im gonna be dumb and tune twice.. i gotta tune again once my cams come in.

 

lol i think i'm gonna get a hpt from my friend then get a tune from trifecta

well i'll see you friday if i get the hpt so i can drive my car if not i'll tow my car up there and get it tuned and then see u lol

under as in when you have the whole shift assembly out, and their is one oring in the hole where you tookt he shifter out...i put a second one down there, it pushes the whole assembly up and makes a tighter fit

 

ok so im lookin at , removing all the console pieces, rotating the white circle. removing that big metal clip, disconnecting the cables. removing the caps. adding an extra o ring and then reassembly? where'd u get the extra o ring from?

 

an extra shift assebly lol, i have two stock shift assemblies, three stock shift knobs, two shift boots, two shifters...lolol
