Clutch Question
Clutch Question
Everytime i accelerate fast on first gear and then switch to 2nd gear my rpm still stay high like i'm still on previous gear.I'm not really good with mechanics so i went to visit my cousin on my 06 Cobalt ss that i bought like 2 month ago. He took a ride a said i have burn clutch. If thats true where could i get new one? Thank you

Its either just wore out or glazed. The link above is to the upgraded clutch kit for your car which is pretty much a ss/tc clutch. Make sure you either resurface or replace the flywheel. Give crateenginedepot a call and they will get you set up with everything you will need
Another possibility is that your TOB is dying... but you have to drop the transmission to change that, so you might as well jump up to the upgraded clutch kit that I posted (which includes the TOB, as well). Your stock clutch can more than likely be saved... but it would take someone that knows what they are doing. For one... stop flooring the car and doing whatever it is that you are doing when you're beating on it, because you obviously aren't doing it right. When daily driving the car around shift around 3k, nothing lower. Ensure that the clutch is fully released before applying throttle, as well. When leaving from a light, you don't need to ricer up the RPM's to 4k to get the car moving, either. I'm not saying that's what you're doing... but I know a lot of douche bags do actually do that, and then wonder why their clutches won't hold anything.
The stock clutch is quite a powerful unit... you just have to know how to treat it. Mine stayed with the car for 70,000 miles, with the last quarter of them coming from a turbo kit making ~350whp. It never actually died or started slipping either. My TOB died, so I changed it while I was in there.
The LSJ Upgraded Clutch is NOT the LNF clutch, or any variation of it. Its actually a Saab clutch, iirc.
