Hi i jsut purchased my cobalt ss supercharge with 14,xxx miles on it and i would like to know if this is normal.......when i boost it hard, and get near the red line and shift it seems to stay in the previous gear until i let it come down,is this a normal thing because it is making it hard for me to power shift

 

Sounds like clutch slip 101.. previous owner probably beat the **** out of it and or didn't know how to drive. Time for a new clutch!

 

hard to tell ... i'd say its normal mine does the same thing but not %100

 

LOL ouch, go back to the dealer man or try someshit

 

thats prolly what fucked up the clutch in the first place

 

its not a constant thing i dont power shift everytime people get on it once in awhile and i havent even put 100miles on it so i dont think that would be the problem

 

i didnt even see that.. expect to have all kind of problems if u like to powershift.

 

power shifting is like having sex without a condom...you may be alright for a while, but eventually your fucked.

 

i find powershifting to be extremely stupid..specialy if all u do is mash it into the next gear at like 6400 rpm or something like what you're doing..its not ment to do that..or am i wrong

 

your wrong, slaming gears at redline is the way to go, unless ur a ****** *****.

 

that just how i shifted turbo cars and others this is my first supercharge so im just woounder if im doing someting wrong and i guess i am

 

X 2.

 

no i prefer to use a clutch like normal ppl ...besides i may be a ***** but at least my clutch will last longer than 14,000 miles

 

power shifting is when you dont let off the gas right?? the way i do it is im WOT come off gas clutch change gear and let go out clutch and press gas at same time, this all happens maybe in less than a second, am i going to mess anything up or is that how you do it?

 

thats what i do..doesn't take long at all

 

is what we do right or wrong tho?

 

95% right

 

My Jetta Vr6 would smoke a modded SS.

 

its ppl like u that give the cars they drive (in ur case VW) a bad name..i bet u have a million stickers on ur car and think u have a thousand hp LOL

 

crack kills man

 

yeah you might wanna check out the how-to section an0malus has one about clutch slip. It plagued me as well when i first drove the car.

 

thanks

 

ooo good idea..i forgot about that vid
