well maybe. i assume most trans shops really don't know what exactly to do from car to car ya know.

i did do it with a new oem flywheel tho.

can i simply swap the existing gmpp and flywheel into the new trans or should i atleast get a new flywheel? i will do a new T.O.B. with this for peace of mind

 

Your kidding, right?

Are you planning on pulling the motor? If you just swapping the trans simply unbolt trans, put new TOB in and bolt trans back up. No need to unbolt clutch or anything.

 

Get a clutch pipe, TOB and TTY bolts. Take the flywheel to somewhere local and have it resurfaced. Should be cheap and take about a half hour. I take mine to southbend clutch

 

oh yeah clutch is on the motor isn't it

you guys have saved me from spending so much uneccesary moneys

 

 

Nice, lucky guy that got a damn good deal. Did you have lsd before?

 

hell yeah ive gotten a lot of great deals lately!

and no, no lsd before. i'm keeping my current trans as a backup

 

Nice, I'm just hoping I can find a deal like that when I'm ready to swap to a 4.05lsd

 

I'd sell this one for 1000 lol

 

never afraid to try and make a dollar

 

You are just swapping for LSD? Doing 4.45 or anything?

 

Nope. stickin with 4.05. funds aren't allowing for anything else really

 

Still cool that you snagged that up. I've never had LSD lol just sold the LSD trans I had that came with the gray car.

 

my cobalt has lsd and my ion doesnt. honestly i dont notice much difference

 

i doubt i'll feel it either. just couldn't pass up the deal and since i'm so worried that my current trans has issues... lsd it is

 

im surprised with my ion's trans. 112k miles of hard track use and dd status. not to mention the clutch has been out for the last 2k miles lol. takes the power shifting pretty well

 

ive never tried power shifting. (i.e., holding the shifter with all your weight while in gear and touching the clutch to have it pop into the next)

 

i just pull it out of gear and hold a small amount of pressure and it just slides right into the next without a clutch. i know the sweet spot and the time it takes for the rpm's to come down enough to do it

 

yeah like i can shift without the clutch no prob but only when slowly cruising; haven't tried racing without a the clutch haha

 

me either. im afraid to lol

 

a well. can't wait to get a good look at this trans tho and see how much play is in the input/output shafts etc

 

Don't shift without the clutch at WOT. Come on this isn't the 70's If you want to shift quicker...learn to shift quicker lol

If you do a lot of auto-x or road course racing or just rail a bunch of twisties you will notice the LSD. In a straight line, not really, but it will be nice to get something fresh in there.

 

I think once you get up there in the power level you would notice a difference with lsj vs non lsd

 

Either way you spin both if you are going straight on an even road. The difference will be minimal. Corners and turns are a different story though.

 

Nice how balts have no torque steer. I drove a srt4 caliber once and holy **** it was all over the place
