I have only 8200 miles on my 05 Cobalt and the clutch seems to be slipping a way. Going in to 1st ggear is fine but 2-5 the clutch doesnt seem to grap untill 3500 rpms i usually shift at two. When i give the car gas the rpms fly up too 4500 as if you are in nutral. It was fine untill about 3 hrs ago i let my friend try do learn stick (he said he had limited experiance)which was my fault and abad idea. Moral of the story do not let ANY ONE drive your car if they only had limited experiance they can burn your clutch up with in 10 minuets.

With that said, does anyone know how much a new stock clutch would run me? and Is the SS/SC clutch differant than the non-SC?

 

You need a clutch from a 2.2L ecotec, they are the same as the 2.2L ecotec cavalier/sunfire F23 trans. We sell SPEC, which is about the same price as OEM but will hold much better.

thanks man

 

Can you give me a partnumber i did a clutch search on the site and it there were 60+ pages of results

 

Go to browse catalog and narrow it done to your car. That site isn't just for Cobalts.

 

im sure if you only have 8k miles on your car, you can bring it to chevy and get it replaced under warranty.

 

Does any one know how much labor (hrs) it would take to put in?

 

sorry to hear you learned a leason. take it to the dealer and buy a new one not sure how much it will run you but it will hit your pocket book nice and hard as it should.

 

thats true too cus the service dude i go to says there is a limited warrenty on the clutches so who knows may get a new one free

 

thats kind of iffy because the cluthc is a waer and tear part but im going to try anyway.

 

i only have 4500 miles on my SS/SC and the clutch havin the same problem... the dealer said to bring it up monday and they will give me a rental car and fix it under warrenty...

 

yea im gonna call my dealer tommorow

 

For a shop, a clutch install can be up to 10 hours. A very experienced shop can do 7 maybe. Average cost is between 500-700 for install.

 

Sorry to hear about your clutch, hope you can fix it affordably. One question,
Were you in the car while your buddy learning to drive stick burned your clutch in 10 minutes, or did you let him take it out by himself ?

 

I was in the carr...the windows were up so i couldnt smell the clutch burning up...i realised it when i got back into the drivers seat

 

I got a call from chevy...they said they r going to repair it since it only has 8000 miles!!

 

I was researching this and asked a the service writers at the dealership I used to work for, its usually 12 months/12k miles. I would double check that though.

UPDATE: Good stuff, just posted and realized the ?? was answered 3 times,lol.

 

is this your first manual transmission?

I have almost 45K on my stock clutch, half of which has been track duty and nitrous use, and everything holds fine.

I'm personally not a SPEC fan at all, but I'm interested in the Exedy unit I've seen.
