lol No man I looked everywhere for a connection of some sort... There's nothing that interlocks or anything.. Nothing at all.. So weird.. Haha I'm wondering if it was adhesive? Even though I don't see any residue that would lead me to believing that..

Mine did this, its glue that holds it on, use hot glue, or get a short shifter

Alright looks like crazy glue it is how ghetto..


Did yours have any sort of clip or anything that interlocked? Or none at all like mine?

lol Even that fell off?! lol That's not even used nearly as much as a stick... GM ftw

Makes me want a short shifter lol but I don't have the money for that right now.. Only money for important things.. like hookers and what not

I can't believe glue holds it on.. How cheap..

it sucks but yes its only glued on, blows but its true. The cobalt is superior to cavy but not as good as GM's 05+ designed products, just look at Malibu Traverse Equinox CTS G8 Camaro etc.

New cruze will be first world class compact GM makes, though the Cobalt SS is an amazing sport compact for enthusiasts, just don't expect a plush interior etc.

yea i was taking my friend for a ride when it broke, i was embarrassed needless to say.
just go to wal-mart or CVS and they should have it, careful not to get that on your hands or anywhere you don't want that. it is serious stuff
