i have also ordered the base bushings. maybe ill stick with the stock shifter + base bushings. we shall see. and maybe if your shifting is getting rougher, you could do a tranny fluid swap. tried that yet?

 

I agree with that one.

 

Stock linkage. I shift mine fkn hard too.

I've still got my stock assembly. I've been thinking about switching back.

 

My hurst is the biggest piece of junk ever.

 

I've noticed mine getting slightly rougher as well. More and more often it doesn't want to go into reverse or first.

I'm gonna get some base bushings, and then see if anyone local wants to do a straight swap.

 

Three times.

 

send me 1200 bucks for the clutch swap, and i will.

108k on the factory issue clutch from day one. slicks are not in my future plan. actually nothing is. it is what it is.

my prediction on slicks is a drop is 2 mph at most, and a **** ton off the et. i simply can't use 1st, barely can use 2nd.

 

Ya, sometimes the car wont go into first or reverse here as well. Have a Hurst.

 

For when it won't go into first... you're supposed to let the clutch pedal out... and then push it back in and try again.

And for reverse, I've found that if you put it in 1st... and then move it into reverse... it works a lot better.

 

I usually just put it into 2nd, and it'll slide right into first. Reverse just takes some finaggling hahah

 

i always throw my car into 4th, then reverse, from day 1, even when i had stock shifter.
first is pie too.
WIth after market shifters i notice gear selection must be more percise

going on 4 years with b @m with no issues.
driven like stolen.

 

im just gunna try the twm SS and keep my stock shifter handy in case my mind changes. im used to tranny problems, i used to have an 06 civic si. 3rd gear would always pop out, and sometimes i had problems getting into first or reverse. but all u had to do was put it into another gear then to first or reverse.

 

random but i really like tha background and font on your signature!

 

thanks

 

Georgian bay motorsport put B&M's in there cars and took them out after breaking rollpins they may have had other tranny failures due to this The exedy clutch was suspect also. They use a modified stock linkage it has the weight cut off and an upgraded roll pin. That's the set up that is in my car.


I run the B&M with no issues I broke a couple rollpins without the new linkage set up

 

this thread is ******* hilarious. i am glad i was able to make reston angry for "attacking his wrx"

 

i love my b&m shifter i have never broken anything and i have driven a few ss with stock shifter after butting in my b&m and i never want to go back

 

Modified shift linkage? Is this something everyone can get? How does it make the shifts feel.

 

im not angry. why would i be angry?

just leveling the playing field buddy. youre comparing apples to oranges. if you need to swap your supercharger to beat me should i be able to swap my turbo?

 

ionno... roid rage? u were going to the gym.

 

i said it was faster in the 1/8 and 1/4 mile than any lsj (non turbo swapped) on here. go look. in every damn post. youre just trying to find 1 person who could beat me or 1 way to squeak by.

yeah i went to the gym bc i lift 5 days a week. sorry im not a fat pos or a skinny little 18 yr old like the rest of the cobalt owners.

 

now he's getting to the nitty gritty.


does it have to be stock blower?

Can it have a ZZP pulley, or just Nates? Or intense?

Can it have a 3" exhaust?

Are you going to tell us it can only be street tires?

And can they be any brand?

 

as a matter of fact yes,

 

So you don't want to race.... ok

 

here is a vid of a stock blower cobalt going fast then you
