^Warranty repair.

 

dealer did that for me already, but it still does it.

 

There was another thread on this in the problems and service forum. I have had the same problem forever. According to the other thread I think there was a bulletin on the issue. It said that it was caused by oil from the filter on aftermarket intakes. I had the weapon r intake and I switched to the K & N and ever since it happens more frequently so I'm guessing that that is it.

 

Isnt your TC button called the clutch?

 

theres no t/c in a manual

 

Thats my point

 

nice one chevycobalt08 lol j/k

 

Uh what? There is TC in a standard. My car has TC and stabilitrak and its a 5 speed.

 

I think they are joking about the fact that wheel spin is "standard" with a manual tranny and you control it with the clutch

 

Dryflow filter so I doubt its oil on the MAF, T/C light and hard shift is indicative of the car going into the LIMP HOME MODE which is usually caused by unregulated air entering the intake system AFTER the MAF. Check for loose connections on the intake between the MAF and the throttle body, also make sure the MAF is still connected or the filter is not loose allowing in dirty air thous putting trash in the MAF. This problem has been discussed many times before....

 

Maybe the '08's have traction control on both manual and auto trannys.

 

no.. i have a traction control button

there is in mine

what?? do i have to take a picture to prove i have a t/c button? i also have stabilitrak



^^ due to the trim not having the hole for the button, i hadda relocate it to the left

stabilitrak!
