Ok, I Have Brought A New Ss Cobalt. That Already Had 300 Miles On It. I Put A 1100 On It And The Clucth Is Completely Gone, Totally Burnt Out


Is This Normal??? Or Did I Just Get Lemon...red 2006 Ss Cabalt 1450 Miles

 

Either that or you suck at driving.

 

well since you have put most of the miles on it, i would have to say that maybe you should consider taking a driving lesson or two.

 

that is very very soon with these clutches, i know some people have burnt them just due to the power and their habbits, others seem to burn them cuz they dotn know what the hell they are doin, i have 4000 kms on mine with alot of spirited driving and normal driving for that matter and havnt had a problem. there are a few people on here with some mods and hit the track every so often and race around town and they have no clutch problems as far as i know, take it to the dealer and see what they can do for you.

 

Your supposed to let off the clutch when you shift not keep it half way down

 

mine has 7k w/ spirited and track driving and see feels great.

 

18k with VERY spirited driving and lots of track days and still feels good as stock, and this was my first stick car. I guess it just helps to have someone who knows what they're doing teach you.

 

7000 miles very spirited, dyno runs and track runs has never slipped or appears any different then the day I got it.

My first stick car ever, learned to drive on it. 36 miles on car when I bought it.

Sometimes you just get faulty parts. Unless you where trying to **** it up theres now way you could kill your clutch in less then 2000 miles IMO...

 

I agree....

 

im only at 4k miles but mine is still holding as the day I got mine and I am in no way an old granny.

 

Yeah, take lessons or something....'cause DAMB!!!!

If you know what you are doing you should easily get 40,000 miles of the clutch minimum!

 

I was ordering a blue 2.4L and as they were driving it to my dealership the clutch went out. My mom works at that dealership and she keeps me updated on it. They fixed the clutch and then it went out again before they were even able to sell the damn thing. So I believe there are some faulty clutches out there. My clutch is holding up at a little over 3k with some hard driving now and then. Some of us win, some of us lose!

 

17000 kms agressive driving and no problems.

 

got a warranty? use it

 

Warranty doesn't cover shitty drivers.

 

^^ Lol

 

thats is weird either ur not letting off the clutch when u shift or there is a serious problem with it

 

i don't think the clutch is under warrenty

 

you guys probably know this if you go on the .com, there is a redline making 260 hp, with a stock clutch and it has givin him no probs, im starting to think its the drivers more and more, never the less im still keepin an eye out for the aftermarket.

 

it can be if it was a defect, and in 1450 miles, that may be a defect.

 

Thank To All That Gave The Two Cents....it Was Worth The Money.....gm Is Replacing The Clutch In Good Faith....ya!!!good Faith....they Sent A Team To Come Look At It.....and Told Me To Come Pick It Up This Friday....gm Is Paying For The Fix-a Roo!!!!!!

Thanx Peeps!!!!
