cosmo short throw for the 2.2/2.4 http://http://www.cosmoracing.com/pr...d=228&pid=1459 i bought mine off ebay for 31 bucks shipped


you can see how i had to trim alittle on the right side so it would fit through the hole. before i took the roll pin out and taking off the lock out. makes it easy to adjust the cables with the boot not in the way.

here are the cables they work just like before but the gray one is on its side. also you have to cut the bottem of the shifter box as you can see under the cables.

now here the little white thing is what it came with. that will not fit in the selector hole, so take a hack saw and cut the plastic one off the stock shifter at the base



one other thing the ball in the middle of the shifter is bigger then the stock one, so when you you go to put it in the plastic holder you really got to work at it and use some muscle to get it to go in to bolt the top of the shifter back down.

 

That is a super short throw.

jeeze.

 

i like it better then the stock thats for sure and it feels good

 

You don't happen to be running an armrest with it are you?

 

nope no arm rest, why you ask..

 

how long have you been running this?

 

i need one

 

This looks like a pretty good idea. I just hope you don't have some sort of failure with all that cutting you had to do. If it holds up, this might be my next mod lol

 

I have an armrest, and I was wondering how comfortable it was. Ah well.

 

i have it on for about 2 days now and it works great. it will hold up. you have to cut the bottem when you do a normal short throw, everything is stable and sound on it.

 

will it work for the lsj?

 

That's what he installed it in.

 

Is that much better than the B&M STS? I really want to get a STS and a new clutch.

 

i like it better then the b&m but thats just me.

 

I'm just a little confused...I thought cosmo only made the short shifters. I.E. the shifter shaft is just shorter than normal. Or is this actually a short throw where it shortens the length of travel between gears?

 

super short isnt it hahha?

 

link fail......so was it a pain

 

Honestly i dont think our throw is long to begin with. But thats just me. I guess it could stand to be shorter.

The hurst shifter pretty much sucks. I dont like how notchy it is compared to stock. Driven a cobalt with one. Prefer the stocker. However, its pretty inherent i guess to have a slightly notchy shifter when you convery to a STS...

Just curious, since this wasnt made for our application, how it would last over time, and if any problems would develop w/ maybe dragging it or autoXing it...

 

there is a big diff. in the throw now VS. stock and i like it. i didn't like stock shifter because you always hit the knee of the pass. when going to 5th. there should be now probs of it lasting for a long time i didn't really change alot of stuff the major thing was the gray clip and how tight the ball was in the socket

 

what about the revese lockout?

 

you don't need it if you try to put your car in reverse while going forward you don't need to be driving

 

didnt you have to bypas it?

 

I don't like how low it is... but that is your preference. If you are going to keep it like that then get a new boot cause the stock one all wrinkled up look a lot like ****!

 

You don't need it if you don't mind hunting for 5th. The reasons for the reverse lockout are A. It stops the shifter from going too far right and missing 5th by a mile and B. To keep idiots from trying to shift into 6th. Second reason there also being why reverse is so far to the right. I disabled the reverse lockout on mine for about 3 days before it pissed me off so bad I put it back.

 

I like the twm the best.. I keep hearing hurst is horrible.
