so whats your opinions on this motor


Is this is the exact engine GM uses in the j-bodys, n-bodys ect.? Or are they changing it a bit?

Its the same motor we have now.

We need some 2.2L peeps i here! I know there is a bunch of you out there!

hey man, its me 2002GT from gmpt.net.. jonel you own this site?

Welcome man :)
This site belongs to me, Dan, and Persa

know anything about the 2.2?

Got to drive a 5 speed Alero with an Eco-tec. Pulled very well for only 140hp. Yanked her into 2nd gear and the tires broke loose, getting a real good sqawk in the process.

Not sold on the getrag 5 speed and that clutch in the Alero....I stalled it once! :oops: I thought it didn't give much feedback as where the engagement point was.

Should do very well as a base engine in the (lighter) Cobalt

I HATE HATE HATE the clutch in my 03

its go no feedback whatsoever its like a video game almost when you drive it

kind of off and on, is it?

Lets hope they perfected it for the Cobalt

its just pure evil lol

ive gotten use to it but still annoys the hell out of me at times (stop and go)

:lol:

The good old 03 jerky clutch. My sister also has an 03 and the clutch is just flat out weird. I can't get used to it either. But the 04 and 05 J-cars are smooth, so I'd imagine they have that fixed for the Cobalt as well. And hopefully smoother shifts as well.

i got a solution for the clutch issue a nice stage 3 clutch :twisted: that is if i can afford it :roll:

You are correct. I ahve driven some Hondas and the clutches are awesome that way.

I have an 04 ION, and the clutch is nice and smooth for me. Not sure if this was a J specific problem, or if the 03 IONs had the same issue

its the getrag tranny its just a hassel

Meh, probably nice then my trans.
