Questions..................

Did your stock cluster to to 120 or 140 (mph)????

If ur stock one only went to 120 how did u correct it?

Thx!

BTW looks nice dude.

 

So the mileage carried over correctly?

what's up with the temp gauge?

I figured the speed would work correctly

 

if his stock went to 140, it would be the same one the 2.2 with the sports package has the same speedo as the 2.4

i bet the sensor is unplugged.

 

yeah the sensor for the temp gauge is unplugged, i m working on moving it somewhere in the intake so that i can get it to read the intake temp instead , also the mileage did csrry over no problem, and i did nothin to correct anything, its simple plug and play, the cluster knows how fast im going, it checked it with the stock in 5th gear around 2k rpm im at 45mph, and when i switch the cluster, it was the same, 45mph in 5th at 2k rpm, no modding, no fabbin, no nothin, just plug and play, when ever the how to get approved u'll see how it was all done, nothin real hard about it, best 40 bucks i've ever spent, way cheaper and better than getting a overlay

 

Is your new cluster from a auto?(all the ones I've seen on ebay are from autos) If so what happens when the shift light should come on?

 

So what exacally comes on a sports package? I have cruse control, wing, etc but i have the 120 speedo and speed limiter is at 105...........

 

Sport package included aluminum wheels & higher speed rated tires

PS: howto approved

 

Ugh.......Not a big deal at all then.....

 

Uhm, he said he did it for looks. And i may do this swap as well because that 105 governor isnt going to be a problem for me anymore =P

 

mr sw4y..... how are we removing the governor?

 

i think i remember him explaining it somewhere, i think he needs 2 smt'6's. Something like it only has 2 input and outputs, so he has to get a serparate one to override the speed limiter.

 

The SMT-6 has a road speed governor setting, which you run your VSS wire through the Cam sensor 1 in/out on the SMT-6 and then you set the perameters in the Global Settings. Basically theres 2 slide bars. One is for when to activate, and the other i believe is what speed you want the SMT-6 to tell the computer your going. So for example. I'll set the first number to 104mph and the next for say 70mph. So when i hit 104 the car things im going 70 and will allow me to pull past 5k rpms in 4th and all the way in 5th. Now dont quote me on all this exactly. I've been slowly but surely getting my engine back in my car, so hopefully by next week ill be able to confirm all this.

You are correct. I need the 2nd one because im already using the smt-6 for timing. There is this auxilary thing you can attach to the smt-6 which i actually have. Right now its being used as a MAF clamp, but we believe we can use it as well for the road speed governor. If not ill just have to buy another SMT-6. Not very expensive and worth the money to crack the governor.

 

flib flaber flagoogigly deewoop...


see i can make up things you dont understand too

 

If your really interested in knowing how it works your welcome to call me and i can explain it a bit easier. Dont worry ill have a whole thread on the road speed governor once i fix it. I have a 4day weekend coming up next week but my brothers in town. So ill be hangin with him. Hmmm, actually ill have him do some video recording for me so i can actually put out some videos of my car.

 

i knew it!!! the cluster is just a damn module. it is controlled by the bcm and other sensors

 

thanks sw4y... i'll be looking forward to that thread... sound interesting and would be quite fulfilling

 

Will this work for me?

I have a 2006 LTZ, I have the upgraded tires and 120mph governor, but my speedo only goes up to 120. I guess they though the white speedo might not look good in my interior. However would be cluster be a direct swap for me?

See here Halfcent was unable to do a swap https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...t=cluster+swap

 

Your welcome mr orng. Ill show you fulfilling dont worry haha

Hey balmung892003 , sorry for the thread jackage. I love the swap and plan on doing it if i can find the cluster for as cheap as you did. Ill be checking out your How To =P Thanks for your contributions!

 

i got the cluster for 40 shipped on ebay, and yes it was from a automatic cobalt, itdoesnt matter what tranny the original car had, cuz it swaps over no problem, the shift light is still there<-the auto ddnt need i, but if you loo at a auto cluster, they still have it, just that theyd ont use it...

link to the how-to, has more pics, and proof it works, sorry the pic is fuzzy, i was at driving wen i took the pic,

105? wierd...i've had mine going like 115 or 112 before?

 

yeah mine is governed at 105 also, hmm 112-115 hu? maybe i can go steal the stock tune from GM, hmmm...i wonder if they can just reflash mine to the specs of the sport pakage, since everything is the same engine and sensor wise...hmm, time to call my buddy at GM

 

^^HIGHLY DOUBT IT. No dealer will set you car to go faster, if u died going 115mph then they could be liable because you car is only suposed to go 105.

Try it tho (inetrested).........

 

i heard that the sport package had a 120 cutout because of the better tires, since they put shitty ass continentals on the bases.

 

yeah i have higher speed rating on the tires i have now, but i talked to my buddy at GM, i chatted with him on yahoo, said it wont work, oh well
