I have a 06 cobalt ss 2.4 it just started to grind when i go into 4th gear. All the other gears work fine anyone know what could be causing this?

 

Sounds like its either out of adjustment or you have a bad synchro

 

is there a better way to tell what it could be? also do you know where the adjustment is for it?
thanks for your help

 

adjustments will generally be on the cables themselves right underneath the shifter. Is there an aftermarket shifter in the car?

 

No its all stock

 

I would be thinking more along the lines of synchros if its all stock.

 

any clue where to start looking for prices? also do you know if the tranny has to come out for that repair? my cars extended warranty don't cover it i guess

 

Cars extended warranty should cover synchros. They are in the transmission so it would have to be pulled and call a transmission shop for pricing. Or someone who rebuilds transmission.

 

My gmpp extended powertrain warranty covered my trans work. They're probably telling you that you are responsible for paying if they determine its not covered. I fought my dealer and they covered it.

 

Ya i don't understand why they wouldn't cover it they replaced both struts yesterday and it was covered guess ill have to fight them then. thanks a lot guys

 

Just a heads up, they took a week before they tore the car apart. Then two weeks before they got the parts, and back together.

 

well are syncros a wear part?

 

wow that's insane that long i'd be pretty mad lol. and thats what im trying to find out if its a wear part

 

eh thats one of the gray line areas. if it's modded they'll prob try to fight it but he said it's stock so he should be good....when i got my car and got the extended warranty or w/e it explicitly stated what would be considered wear and what wouldn't.

 

id say clutch is the only wearable part... something that is commonly changed... not a synchro... especially if it's stock..

 

Ya like i said before its all stock. only thing i changed was head-unit and added a system which wouldn't hurt the tranny or anything haha.. i called my extended warranty that i paid for and they said it should fall on the gm certified warranty 100,000-Mile/5-Year2 Powertrain Limited Warranty. The car was used when i got it but it was certified

 

I have an aftermarket shifter and sometimes I have a hard time getting it into gear, especially fourth, and its a brand new clutch. How would I go about adjusting the cables?

 

now that i think of it. this all started when i thought i had the clutch in and went to downshift "grind" did that a few times (don't rude i was having one of them days). someone just told me to try double clutching to see if it free's up the synchros anyone heard of this?

 

I blew the syncro racing a big ass F350.

 

haha nice SS/SC?

 

Yapp

 

I took my car to the dealership today and its in fact the synchro my 2nd gear and 3rd also are going bad didn't have to fight them one phone call from them saying its covered thank god! told me it will be done by the start of next week

 

Congrats! I called it!

 

Haha ya thank god it went well i didnt feel like going over a bunch of crap. however i seem to be having another problem but since i change my own oil and dont have anything showing it i have to try and find the problem myself
