****TWM Performance Cobalt SS/SC and SS/TC Cable Clamp Pre-Order Thread!!! ****



Hi Everyone,

Ever since the introduction of the Cobalt SS/SC in 2005, owners have had problems with their cables popping off of their shift levers. The problem has been reported in many stock cars, and also occurs in vehicles equipped with short shifters. This problem stems from the cheap plastic part that GM decided to use to hold the cable together.

In essence, this plastic clamp does not secure the cable tightly enough and therefore under hard shifts, the clamp simply opens up, rendering the shifter 100% useless. This means that you are stuck in whatever gear you where in and you’re left with two options; either disassemble the center console to access your shifter in order to re-do the clamp (praying that it’ll stay together long enough to get you home), or call the tow truck. Neither of these solutions are very much fun.


YouTube - TWM Performance NEW Cable Clamp for Cobalt SS and HHR SS


Here at TWM Performance we heard your cry and decided to make a solution for everyone with a 2005-2010 Cobalt SS/SC or SS/TC! What we came up with is a solid CNC machined, aluminum cable clamp replacement. The biggest improvement is found where the cable enters the clamp. The OEM clamp was a simple clip-on design that would un-clip when you shifted hard. The new TWM Performance Cable Clamp is a two-piece aluminum sandwich that firmly grips the cable using 3 bolts and locking nuts. This piece completely replaces the cheap and weak plastic piece from GM and will work on your stock shifter, or a TWM Performance short shifter and is guaranteed to never leave you stranded with disconnected cable clamps!

Very nice!

If you all decide to offer a stronger roll pin, let us know. That's another common point of failure for us.

Got the test piece yesterday and mounted it on my spare cable. This is a really really nice piece. I tightened it finger tight and it holds. You will be able to mount this on your shifter first out of the car and then just slip the cable right in the clamp without screwing around with the goofy GM plastic clip. Heres a couple pictures of it on the cable. Very detailed directions with many pictures came with the clamp as well as some locktite for the screws.

My problem was where that plastic cup attaches to the shifter itself. Not where it locks onto the cable, haven't had a single issue there. Is that still plastic in that "cup" piece??

OK Here it is. I just finished installing the TWM Shift Cable Clamp. So Here goes. The instruction sheet was very good. I added a few tools to make it easy. I used a T-20 torx driver. 15 mm ball allen for the last screw on the clamp and a 15 mm allen socket on a 12 inch extension. Straight snap ring pliers work best. A rag. First everyone should know how to take your console apart . Follow the direction sheet if you dont. After removing the shift boot and console covers I loosened the stock plastic shift cable clip and unscrewed the 4 torx and carefully pulled the shifter out. You can get the stock clamp off by pushing it back towards the shifter. It will come right off. Now dissassemble the clamp by taking the snap ring out and push the nylon base out. Apply the lithium grease to the nylon base and a little on the shifter ball. Put the base on a flat sutface and push the shifter ball straight down into the base. Reinstall the nylon base and snap ring making sure it is seated into the clamp. Apply locktite to the threads of the clamp screws.
Now put the clamp through the shifter hole and slide the shift cable into the clamp. Make sure all shifter parts are lined up and tighten the 4 torx down holding the shifter. Now get the shifter where you need it and snug the first 2 screws. Shift through the gears and fine tune the adjustment until you have it where you want it. Tighten all 3 screws. Dont over tighten. Remember the clamp is Aluminum. I used a ball allen to get the third screw. Give it a test drive . Make adjustments if needed. If happy put the console back together and enjoy.

Heres a breakdown on the stick clamp. Its a spring loaded plastic piece with about 3/4 on an inch of actual clamping surface. This = failure !!!!!
