Cobalt SS 2.0 turbo something broke? Trans? Help?!
hello so I have an 08 cobalt SS 2.0 turbo with injen charge pipe, injen cold air intake, zzp catted downpipe, and exhaust. I’ve had the car for about a year with no issues until now. The car is running with 20 psi. I’m hoping someone could tell me what they think the issue is before I go out and buy something I don’t need.
So one day I was driving and I noticed when I was taking off first time the car was hesitant I would gas and it would take a second like it didn’t want to move. As I was driving it started to do it in second gear I would gas and it would hesitate. I drove for about 10 mins and as I was just cruising in 4th at 50km the car just started jerking and knocking like crazy and it came to a complete stop, the car was stuck in 4th gear so it died, I tried turning it over the first time didn’t work, tried again it started but i was stuck in 4th so I had to keep the clutch in. I managed to get it out of 4th and into neutral but now when i start it and let go of the clutch it makes a whining noise. Also can sometimes put it into gear sometimes not. When I get it into first and try to get it to move the clutch still grabs but when I start to roll it makes lots of grinding but when I reverse there is no grinding. One more thing when it happened it was leaking a ton of oil of some sort. It was leaking where the tranny meets the engine. Would appreciate some help thank you!

I really hope it’s nothing super expensive because it’s the lsd tranny and it’s low mileage I really don’t want a new transmission it’s half the price of the car, I’m at work rn I’ll check the fluid when I’m home I appreciate the help thank you

I haven’t brought it to my mechanic yet because I’m going to be charged just to take it apart and I want to provide my own transmission if that is the case. Another thing is if it is the transmission I have a performance clutch in it and I don’t really feel like replacing that either it is costly, the clutch grabs perfectly fine do you think it would still be okay?

I had some of those similar issues and it just ended up being axle seals. But I also brought it to my transmission guy a day after I noticed the weird noises. It was a few hundred bucks but well worth it. Bring it to someone who rebuilds transmissions for a living...
