I tried to convince my friend to buy them. But he has only just started driving again after his accident last June. He still doesn't know if he wants to spend money on his Cobalt or Vega.

Big hp cobalts aren't hard to drive as long as you don't go big cams and an on off clutch. Even big turbo Balts aren't bad cause turbo lag pretty much makes them more friendly down low.

Instant tire spinning of a supercharger is always fun. Just stay out of the ditch. Mike may be in one of them.

So the part I have circled is the piece that keeps popping out of place. I can clip it back but it'll always eventually pop out again. I wonder if I can JB Weld it or something?

There is obviously a reason why it keeps popping out. Don't jimmy rig it.

I think it's popping out because it's worn. Moisture got in during Winter and I might of forced it into gear. I think it was the dealer I took it to but I'm done dealing with them.

So replace the cable or the bracket. Whichever is worn.

It all really comes down to when the head shows up. I'm working on Jordan and I going to the Jets game Saturday. But as soon as I get my hands on the head ill be able to plan things out better. The weather sucks ass right now anyways.

Looking at thousands of dollars of your own go fast parts and not being able to install and try them is worse I'd have to say lol.

I like to have opinions to make decisions. Most you guys have dealt with all the Cobalt stuff already so it's a good place to ask.

I'm impatiently waiting for my shifter to show up;
