Tranny passed away last night...
Hate to bring back an old thread... but something happened to my trans last night. I'm not too sure what yet. I think I might have stripped the teeth off of 1st gear. I dunno, I didn't think to try 2nd gear.
All I know is that it sounded like a frag grenade went off (not the boom... but pieces of **** flying everywhere)... and then the car wouldn't move in 1st gear... and the trans fluid started to SLOWLY leak out.

LMAO WRONG car to offer up for better reliability and ESPECIALLY better warranty. Perhaps no one remembers the big stink about 3 years ago.....Subaru gave new WRX and STi owners a FREE 1-year membership to the SCCA so that they could "really enjoy the car", then paid people to search SCCA results on the internet and voided the warranty of each and every person they found that had taken advantage of the membership and gone auto-xing.

It's not the Synchro... if the Synchro went out... the Tranny would just GRIND when it when in to gear. Trust me... I've got a tranny in my storage room for a reason 
Sounds like a serious problem... AND there is nothing cheap about these trannies. I fried my Synchro blocker ring... and it was gonna be $1000+ just for parts. I got a used tranny for $750.
$1000 just for this part!!! RIDICULOUS!
And working on the tranny yourself is out of the question... you HAVE to have the proper tools (they cost $500+ and come from Germany IIRC), otherwise, when you pull your gears, they'll come out like this:

You sold the Balt and bought a Neon... I'm selling the Balt and buying a Cobra.
Maybe one day, Chevy will understand that when the GM Performance Division SPECIFICALLY engineers a car for all around performance... that people are gonna be hard on them.
The difference between a good car company and a bad car company... is how they stand by and behind their performance cars.

I had the slave cylinder fail on my Cobalt at 52,000 miles. took out the clutch and flywheel too. The dealership would not replace it under warrenty saying that " Had I come in for regular service, someone would have caught it." A week earlier i was under the car and it was not leaking and all looked fine. That was a fun $1700 repair.
