Shift leaver Link!!!
Hi guys, I was having a stroll when suddently my **** leaver went all crazy! I could not put the car on any gear. I took the leaver out, only to find out the GM really droped the ball when designing this part of our cars.
this part connects directly to the shift leaver on the second cable from left to right. anyone knows if theres a after market fix for this?!

freeking car has just 5,611 miles on it. shame on GM form making such a crappy part. Anyone had to deal with this before?

I haven't, but I noticed that when I took mine apart there was no grease.....whenever I greased my whole shifter up with white lithium, it made a world of difference!!

Others have had this issue after a hard no-lift shift.
Oh, and it's "lever" not "leaver."

Balento welcome to the club. Remember when we went to Vaca brava? That's the same part I broke, got it fixed under warranty and then it happen again last month in la fiebre. Just an advise go to Royal motors not Benitez at Royal it only took them 2 days because they usually have to order the whole linkage but at benitez it took them 2 weeks just to do that! I'm never going back to Benitez!
Good luck! Me llamas cualquier cosa!

and 5 speed cobalt 05+ will work, so check your local j yards

dang! well it did happen to me while I was NLS in 3rd but I didn't failed, darn thing broke anyways. Tried super glue and that also failed. Will get the car to the dealer I guess. I am very disappointed, making a sports car with weak, peace of crap links is just unacceptable. Thank you all for the information!!!

I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what's in the picture but this has solved many peoples shifting problems. NOT cheap but worth every penny. I think they're having a group buy right now. Check it out.

people are banging gears pretty hard, for no good reason. You dont need to punch out the stereo to make the car go fast. I used to NLS with two fingers. That kind of driving will grenade trans and shred syncros.... Trust me, ive been there with my old wrx. Now that im tuned and have an uprated clutch, i wont go near a NLS....

NLS is not nessicarly bad but Slamming the gears like you are trying out for the next fast and furious movie is.
