ok so about 2 weeks or so ago i got a new tranny put into my car
when when i would let out on the clutch it would start to let out at the bottom
but now there is alot of play in the clutch it does not start to let out until the top
of the petal where does every ones else let out at? bottom or top? and is my tranny going out again

 

my bro says i have a very high clutch. i didnt know what that ment till i drove his car and his is closer to the floor. i dont mind where it graps as long as it hold me on hills im good.

 

mines in the high area. when i 1st got the car i asked the salesman if i should push the clutch all the way down or just where it catches, he said better to push it down all the way.

 

mines liek in the middle lol i member first tryin to drive my car after learnin on a mitsubishi fuso lol (dump truck that would b) yeah which is way different of drivin stick so yeah lol

 

Both of my cobalts clutchs seemed to let out fairly high so I think this is normal. Its a hydrolic clutch and there is no way to adjust them that I know of, but mabey if yours feels wierd mabey there is air in the line somewhere. If they just did your tranny then there is a chance mabey they did not bleed it well.

 

i have noticed the same thing, does anyone know if switching to an aftermarket clutch would help?

 

there was a guy who had the clutch master replaced and the dealership bleadd the **** out of it and he said it seemed to fix it. as far as my clutch goes it actually varies sometimes low sometimes high. i have a friend who works for GM rebuilding transmissions and he said the hydraluic clutches feel funny and there is no way to adjust them. he did however say to make sure that you ALWAYS press the clutch in as far as you can get it on every shift or it could **** **** up. he said he's seen people who's floor mat slid up behind the clitch pedal and cause problems with shifting and clutch wear. he said 1/4" will make a differance with these clutches

Here's a link to the other kid's thread (the one who had the clutch master replaced)

Be sure to always press the clutch ALL THE WAY when ingaging. With hydrolic clutches, they tend to force the gear change, which in turn, grinds the clutch down. The thing I have found out with most factory supercharged cars, the manufaturere tends to skip out on the clutch and tranny when upgrading, thus costing the consumer trouble down the road. Too much torque for standard gear. You could have air in the lina as HViper suggested, but it should have shown up from the time you picked your car up. My suggestion is go ahead and upgrade your clutch to save you headaches later. You may also want to look at a higher PSI hydro pump, which will stay consistant.

 

Yeah mine grabs near the top.... everyone said it was messed up been its been like that since day one and is still holding strong...

 

ANY INFO ON A HIGHER PSI PUMP THAT WILL FIT THE COBALTS???

 

all the cobalts i have driven have high catch points. i am on my 3rd clutch and 2nd tranny and have 8k miles on the car. so yeah, they're just weird

 

Mine grabs down real low, but that is due to my FX300 clutch! I love it!

 

Mine startts to grab around the middle. I only really push it to the floor when I know I will be coming to a stop or am starting it.

 

When i F@#$ing tell it to,bish!
