Yup
Got one for $68 shipped directly from Cosmo Racing in Montreal. Nothing against TWM I just don't like cutting or hacking plastic chunks out just to get a STS installed. The cosmo STS can be installed without taking the whole center console apart

No you cant install a shifter for the SC or TC in a 2.2/2.4 car.

J-body shifters work in the Cobalt.

Cutting your shifter does notmake it a short throw shifter, it just makes it a short shifter.

Damn wbrevels, thats redonkulous, I couldnt stand a shifter that short, it looks like youve just got a knob sitting in your boot, no shifter..

I'd actually like a stock height short throw shifter, **** I'd actually love a 1" taller short throw shifter. Its not good for shift speed and car control to have to move your hand so far to the shifter.
