isnt the f23 a SS/SC transmission?? i know the ss/sc open diff and limited slip transmissions are going to be equal in strength. only difference is the diff. if i were you get all the gears cyroed treated, not sure exactly how to spell it. do that and get it beefed up more, a performance transmission place should know tricks on how to build your tranny up. thats who you really need to talk to.

sorry about that still new to the cobalts, only had for a couple months. still dont know everything about the balts but im getting there. which are stronger the f23 or f35??? may be a dumb question but sometimes, older transmissions can be stronger than new ones.

these trannies have weak rear ends if you get a better differential the tranny should hold up to alot of abuse.i installed the quaife diff on my ss and its great. im really hard on my car and am suprised in the beating my tranny has takn .

Well i believe the bellhousings are different so you'd have to have someone make an adapter plate if you really wanted to use the f35 but then you gotta think about space issues. Honestly if you want replace the stock on, either have it re-built, buy a brand new f23, or find a used one with low miles on it. Just get a stronger clutch and maybe even a lightweight flywheel if you want.
