See, what the hell is wrong with this design, GM? A simple threaded screw. And see how the knob has a hole through it? That's so you can push the face plate off, should it need replacing. Smart!

Again, not shown is the spring for the dumb reverse lockout. Every other 5 speed I ever had got along fine without this dumb mechanism (that's a total of 4 different trannies from 4 different manufacturers, foreign and domestic, and one was a high performance unit). Stupid!

The finished job. True to its word, it is shorter, but I don't really see the benefit yet. I guess I'll have to drive it hard to find out.

Anyway, no more jack-in-the-box shift knob for me. Yay simple solutions!

The reason it pops off is piss-poor design and engineering. What idiot thought using splines and six pressure points was a good idea?

I'm sure theoretically they provide enough force to hold the knob on, but practically, what with all the excess pressures of shifting, and the fact that these appear to be two different metals (with different rates of expansion), the design can't do the job.

Not shown is a spring and a piece of foam that sit in that little cup. They're for the reverse lock-out. Which again, I don't understand why that was needed, other than some stupid designer thought it would be 'cool' because the Acuras have them. Except the RSX Type-S is a six speed, and reverse lockout is something of a necessity.

So instead of replacing the problem with the same problem (that I'd probably have again in another 36,000 miles), I opted for a short shifter.

I have to say, I was mighty impressed with all the stuff B&M included. Grease, Loctite threadlocker, and even a tie-wrap to replace the one you have to cut on the shift boot. Don't quite understand the aluminum bushings, but whatever.

And of course, the obligatory stickers. Now I can be like the ricers! Woohoo!

Tools required, according to the instructions. Well, they were not very accurate because the socket size is wrong (it's 13 mm, numb nuts, not 12), and you need a longer extension. Also you need snips to cut the tie wrap and a pair of needlenose pliars might come in handy. But I have all that anyway. Probably the weirdest bit is the T15. That's a very small Torx bit.

From U.S. News (http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/Chevrolet_Cobalt/)

The 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt ranks 24 out of 29 Affordable Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 80 published reviews and test drives of the Chevrolet Cobalt, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

The Chevy Cobalt is surprisingly fun to drive for an inexpensive car, boasts solid fuel economy, and is available with one of the nicest stereo systems found in this price range.

For 2010, the Chevy Cobalt comes as a two-door coupe or four-door sedan in LS, LT and performance tuned SS Turbo trims. A bare-bones trim, the LS XFE, claims better fuel economy than other Cobalts.

An attractive small car with a bit more size, style and equipment than its entry-level competitors, but with a reasonable price tag and good gas mileage" -- Kelley Blue Book

So, the day after my 36,000th mile, the shifter knob popped off like a cork. I was a little annoyed, but it went back on and seemed to be fine.

But then it kept popping off...
