sportshifter..?
does anyone know if a sport shifter is made for a cobalt?
as in sport shifter (cuz they are called so many different things) i mean an automatic transmission that can be pushed over into a "manual" type transmission that u slap the gears.

No company has made a conversion kit for the cobalt. Your going to have to trade it in for a 5 speed if you want to shift gears.

A "slap/bang/ratchet shifter" will make no difference on the Cobalt's auto...you can't control shift points with the selector at all, just the way it operates.
Any aftermarket shifter would only be for looks unless they also provide a modified valve body and/or a way to manipulate the TCM.
