once you get some power you have to be careful on the 1 to 2 shift. especially the way the rpms drop like crazy, and the way the cluch's like to slip to to driver error. as far as actually missing, 2nd is kinda hard. but the 3-4 shift is by far the easiest to nail every single time.

ANYWAY in conclusion to the thread, It is there by ASSUMED I shifted to 2nd. Yes I admit that's a silly n00b move. Yes I admit I am a n00b when it comes to racing. So no You guys can't really make fun of me for something I admit. This is why I DON'T race in the first place. I'm not the racing type. And it will stay that way or else I'll make more silly mistakes. That's why I don't do any performance mods. And I have a F23 transmission. Problem solved. /thread

It was the first time I really got on it hard from 1-2 since it was stock, big difference. And I need new tires bad. lol

You definitely hit second gear. How can you miss 4th as it's straight down? To get into second you have to go a bit to the left then down. I down shift from 5-4-3 with no problem.

It's a waste of money anyway. Is the single CD MP3 capable or no? If it is then basically you are paying 295 extra or w/e it is for internal storage space. I don't even use CD's anyway, only when my iPod dies.

Read my post in why did you buy a 2.4 in general cobalt you'll see why. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/general-cobalt-68/why-did-you-buy-2-4-a-127511/
I'm not sure actually.. but like I said before I don't use it just my iPod so I couldn't really tell you..
Ok well listen guys I gotta head out got some errands to run with my dad, and a party at my friends later. I'll probably chime in every now and then on my sidekick. Sorry for the n00b move and I'm sure it was entertaining for everyone =/

no u did put it into second, that happened to me when i had a scion tc i had a barely gotten my first manual car and i was in the freeway doing like 80 and try to downshift really quick to 4th and bam i hit 2nd lol. the wheels locked and it chirped like u said but i quickly pressed the clutched and put it back into 5th, nothing ever happened to the car i drove it for another half a year and ended up selling it. but that happened b/c i also was trying to show it off to my cousin, sh33t always happens when ur trying to show off to somebody
