At 101205 miles, my clutch went. My original, completely stock clutch. Even my mechanic was surprised.

 

wow

 

wow thats pretty good!

 

Yeah, not bad for an 06. Just not looking forward to the replacement bill...

 

mines at 187k so far. dont have a problem with it still. brakes either

 

KY Clutch, we can ship one out Monday to you!

Order on www.TurboTechRacing.com

 

Slight update....when the phrases "catastrophic failure" and "grenading" are used, it's not a good thing.

 

im at 94xxx with a TVS... not looking forward to that bill when it comes around.

 

Did you post this in the how long does the stock clutch last thread? I thought I saw one of those.

 

Couldn't find one. But the repairs are not pleasant. Something fragged and punched a hole in the transmission casing....I know I could've fix at least 3 fingers inside. If I ever hear that sound again it was making prior to failure, its going straight to a shop.

 

Wishing you well with the repairs! Hope you're back in your Cobalt soon!

GMPP clutch time? I love mine.

 

Getting the GMPP upgraded clutch as part of the repairs. Should have the car back next week.

 

Nice, I am 97k on my stock clutch and still holding strong! 06 SS/SC as well!

 

97755 miles here on the stock clutch, no sign of failing yet! Let me know how much your bill is lol. I know ill replace it someday!

 

Just an fyi, incase I'm not the only one that had limited experience with manual transmissions prior to this car. If you hear a sound that sounds kind of like a wheel bearing, that's what the clutch sounds like shortly before catastrophic failure.

 

Thats the TOB usually

TOB = Throw Out Bearing

 

Well, 2 weeks and $3875 later, its back! Clutch, flywheel, transmission, and had them change my serpentine belt while they had it. The holes (yes plural) in the transmission casing, one was large enough for me to fit my fist in, and I could have put both fists in the internal hole. The spider gear from the differential had actually sheared a tooth. The pressure plate edges were mangled. Now have the GMPP clutch and fresh transmission, almost a new car.

 

ahh so you dont have G85?

 

126k on my stocker on 2.2, surprised it held up so well

 

Argh, scary. I'm at 63k on my 06 SS/SC but I've beat the crap out of it and am putting 30k+ a year on this car. I can't afford a clutch by itself, let alone anything else that might die with it (the whole trans?!).

Ah well, I'm hoping to trade up for a T/C in the next year or two. Just gotta make it last that long.

 

My 1990 Prelude still had the stock clutch holding strong when I sold it about 18 months ago at 300,000kms. Then again it didn't make enough power to burn up a clutch

 

Yeah the clutches in these car's can last if you treat them right! Even in just the base model's also! My oldest bro has a 2004 2.2 ion sedan he has had since new and with 187K on it and the factory clutch! Also factory shocks and springs man that thing bounces on the highway! Lol
