chevy cobalt 08

I'm driving showing my car off to my friend kenny I'm redlining 3rd then shift to 4th and then all of a sudden the wheels chirp and the car feels like I stomped on the breaks or like as if I downshifted and dumped the clutch exept the rpms weren't making the high rev sound as if I down shifted to a lower gear and I was in 4th! I was like WTF clutched out put it in N for a sec then back to 4th and it was fine WTFFFFF talk about ******* embarrassment! but what the hell was that?!?! why did it do that?!?

Cuz knowing you. you probably shifted it into second. lol j/k

chevy cobalt 08

lmao no cause I was at 80mph that would be impossible the engine/tranny would explode lawl

ls1fbody

it sounds like you missed a shift. methinks you were trying to shift to fast and hit the brake pedal instead of the gas.

what do you do with your right foot as you drive? do you lift it to touch the breaks/gas or rotate?

an0malous

not impossible at all. a few people have done it,
methinks you found 2nd gear

chevy cobalt 08

rotate?? I lift i didn't miss it was in gear except the wheels chirped and for a second felt like i stomped on the breaks that's what it felt like but I know my foot didn't that's never a mistake as my foot rises up in the same spot over the gas when shifting

at 80 mph????? dude my engine would explode and it wasnt making that high rev sound

originaladrian

if ur shure u dudnt miss a shift than u might have just lost traction so bad for reduced power mode... idk

chevy cobalt 08

well i did have T/C off...

originaladrian

the reason i say this is becuase in my car when i hydroplaned thts wht happend...

chevy cobalt 08

It felt like i stomped on the breaks real quick that's only what it felt like that's not what I did and it was in 4th gear not second cause if it were in second i wouldnt be here right now.... :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKs7k0vMMTI my car did not do this or make the same sound

Did you push the clutch in as soon as it felt like you slammed on the breaks? honestly i think you hit 2nd because the reving noise doesn't come up as soon as you downshift. thats my thoughts. Or take it out now and run it through the gears hard and see if it does it again.

Tha vid always makes me lawl, ******* lol

chevy cobalt 08

ROFL that video is EPIC!

ls1fbody

it's called heel-toeing, and it's what you should be doing. anything can happen man. it really does sound like you hit 2nd.

chevy cobalt 08

yea and I really don't feel like going out lol

i can't do it it's impossible for me and because of my ADHD my coordination isnt too well with it lol but wouldnt my engine explode @ 80mph downshifting to second??

chris88z24

You probably hit the brake instead of the gas. If you went into power reduction mode your CEL would come on and it would say so in the DIC screen.

chevy cobalt 08

Well I sure hope so I don't wanna have to end up at the dealer for a fucked up tranny

chevy cobalt 08

This is also why I won't race cause I ALWAYS **** up 4th (usually I miss it lol) yes that's right I'm admiting it that's why I DONT race lol

CinciSS07

stop saying your damn engine would have exploded because it wouldn't have.
