Why is that?? Thanks, Im hoping they will cover it once they figure out what the problem is...

 

When i was pulling out of my street onto us19 last night i was on it and it Slipped the Clutch BAD, As in smoke and the nasty smell of the clutch. my car has just over 9000 miles on it.

 

Were you shifting? Or just driving along?

 

When i shifted into 2nd i was probably at 6000RPM fully depresed the clutch shifted to 2nd dropped the clutch and had it to the floor. Almost could call it granny shifting, I wasn't in a hurry just like hearing the supercharger whine.

I could feel the car trying to go forward so i didn't miss 2nd it was just slipping likw crazy. After it slipt I pushed the clutch in again and reset it i guess you could call it and it still wasn't moveing. This morning on the way to work i didn't notice anything abnormal though.

 

Hmm yea I wouldnt try to do that to much lol, atleast you didnt burn up your clutch prob just wore a couple millimeters off

 

that's still not good lol

 

Haha yea def not good anyday!

 

too many noobs out here beating the **** out of their cars and blowing tranny's... probably btwn 10-15 so far out in NY that I know of... So the Reps come out everytime a balt is in the shop and void em... and like mine red flag em... (I broke an axle at the track, and they voided my warranty because of exhaust)

 

10k and still goin on the stock clutch and mine was used by GM as their Ride and Drive for the NOPI shows and races. Oh, and I'm def not stock..lol

 

Wow that makes no sense, I hope the same thing doesnt happen to me over exhaust

 

as long as not that many balts have been brought in, you should be ok

 

My buddy went there for his S2 install but other than that im not aware of any Cobalts in Jville having a failure like mine, well atleast an SS, so I should be good!

 

that is always good

 

heh thats why i said strip your mods, they will blame any HP increasing mod around here. Saying the tranny wasnt made to support the extra power etc.

 

Yea but I cant just take my exhaust off, its all welded in except the DP and plus I dont have the stock catback, if they try to say some **** like that I will ask them to prove it to me..

Chea

 

did you use the number I gave you yet.

 

they do suck i know 3 people personally that have clutch problems thats sad! Mine has slipped since the second week I bought it new. Of course GM says their isn't a fix yet so they won't touch it. I know not all of the clutches are bad but with as many people that have problems with them I would say as a whole they blow! I mean I love my car but I can't even be shift into second if im on the gas hard without it slipping One of these days I'd love to hear a Chirp into second lol so frustrating

 

It didnt work for me, for some reason I dk why, but it was safe enough to drive it to the dealership. I have a card for my extended GMPP Warranty that I can call for roadside assistance anytime anywhere, but thanks for the help. That # seemed like it was too long?

 

Yeah I know 3 people that killed their clutches within 600 miles of getting the car... but they drove like idiots and didn't know how to drive the car correctly (I.E. riding the clutch, slipping the hell out of it and glazing it over.etc etc)...
strange I guess.
and BTW ever notice how exedy doesn't offer a stg I clutch for our cars.......... cause thats what comes stock.

oh and also I can chirp 3rd at the track on stock clutch and tires.... and spin all of second if I wanted... proper break in is key with these clutches... I gave mine about 1000 miles of niceness before giving it hell and it never failed me once. Only reason its coming out soon is I don't think it would hold over 350 wtq ... lol

 

NOT ALL OF THE CLUTCHES ARE BAD BUT A LOT ARE! and it isn't because people don't know how to drive well i take that back im sure some cases are lol anyways im just saying I have 3 friends that have the same problem as me and they aren't little idiot kids that abuse their car. but I am happy for you ur lucky ur clutch has held up so strong

 

When I first got my car it slipped like a bitch from the previous owner but now I can burn 2nd on command, but I dk if I can bark 3rd, oh course my tires really dont scream so I dont really know if I am or not

 

only reason I found that out I was at the track and someone taped my run,.,. (3rd gear chirp)..
but only thing I've ever seen that was an actual defect with the clutches is the slave cylinder, not the clutch itself

 

A lot of Trannies breaking lately. My 2nd gear Synchro Blocker died back in December. EXPENSIVE!

 

Werd

It wasnt covered under warranty?

 

yeah thank god I got 2 set's of spare gears and input shafts and one good housing
