We just finished inhales car. We had to replace the tranny and driver side axel. It tooks us bout 2 weeks. the tranny was hard to get. We all thought it was going to be hard put with the experience of paul..it came through. so for all u cobalt guys out there..there is light. we had so many cobalts here turned down by GM and we came together and fixed this car. im sure paul will be on this soon to tell you guys all the details.

 

That's awesome to hear..Paul was telling me about ya'lls big tranny situation. With the way this sounds, I'm guessing I may be payin some good money to get my clutch and flywheel done down the road..Ah well, gotta do what I gotta do

 

LSD is on my plate. Hopefully Mr. I'm ******* awesome with cars (aka Paul) will be willing to be the guide for my install. Good to hear he's back. Bout damn time!

 

yeah man its good to see another local cobalt on the street. i cant wait to get my new one....

 

yay 1 back...like 10 to go. LOL

 

My work never ends/... but yeah it actually eneded up being a lot easier than I thought originally after hearing other's horror stories... I figure with all parts in hand give me a solid day with the car and all is well... I"m just looking forward to dropping everything out of my car( engine trans and whatnot) should be quite the party. mind you we did mike's car with jackstands and a few mis matched handtools... and bleeding the clutch actually was pretty damn easy .. even though I did it like 5 times to make sure..
Well I can't wait to hear an update from Mike on how the cars doing but after the initial test drive last night, everything seemed good to go.
and for anyone else, if you need a clutch install or a tranny replaced just let me know... I don't have a def price I'd charge you it all depends on how long it takes, but it'll be less than a garage. Unfortunatly I did lose my garage a few months ago so you would have to provide the place to do it..

 

hahahah yeah i finally got mine back from the dealer again after my valve train granaded. But now i got a boost leek, and and exhaust leak and i still gotta somehow run 13's on sat. Cobalt FTW?!? Hopefully.......

 

I'll get you all fixed up tonight... meet me at c/a after 6

 

hahahaha. it want that bad...after all. it was a job well done. funny donna,very funny. we have to get your car rolling out. paul wut time u goin to CA..maybe mike and I will hit it up. ill try to call him later to see how the car is doing. he is maad happy. we were drvin home and he was just smilin the whole time. we stopped for air for his tires. those things were at like 13 and 15. as we leave i just hit the gas hard in my camaro..spinnin my tires at least for a block or two and he is just babyin the whole way home. ill get at u later paul

 

Yeah now help me trouble shoot my mystery problems. but im guessing its my s/c gasket under anything more than 10.5 psi "pisses" the extra boost out. mystery problems. oh yeah i have to swap DP's for the umptenth time. MyMPG's are droping rapidly. This cobalt's gonna be the death of me i swear.

 

I should be out there before 6... gotta fix something on my car and do phils tonight to get ready for the track tomorrow... then its off to marc's to strip these heavy bastards down

 

damn phil we all know your car is cursed... I'll be ll over that thing tonight./.. I hope its just the s/c gasket, but I"m thinking its deeper rooted problems.. but I"ll keep my fingers crossed for you.. but either way I"ll get that bitch into the 13's tomorrow for ya.. you got my "stock" tune on there and I was hitting 103 mph traps with just that so I think you can be there with a good 60'

 

Nice work Paul. The life of another Cobalt has been saved.

 

I"m like a cobalt difibrilator (sp, wtf?!).... they die and I bring em back to life.

 

Not gonna lie It feels good to have someone in the area to trouble shoot cobalt problems with. Thanks Paul

 

oh paul cant wait till i get my car..then he is gonna be a workin man..lol. its good to have another balt up and running. well who are we losing....big mike,john..is that it?

 

for now
