Is it easy to shift? Or very stubborn? Please share with me you experience/opinions

Thanks!

 

its a transmission....it shifts like....normal

 

5 speed, shifts like a car?

 

maybe his isnt quite a car

 

clutch in, foot to the floor. dump it, bang some gears. voila racecar.

 

i think this qualifies as what he called "stubborn"

 

Have u ever seen the movie 8 seconds that came out in 1994, if u have well thats what its like to drive a cobalt sc

 

...don't learn on an LSJ, if you can help it. Not much feedback in the clutch and it's a bit laggy because of the throttle-by-wire or whatever it is. It really is different than any car I've driven to be honest, but not necessarily that much more difficult, just different.

 

Am I missing something?

 

It's another member that doesn't own the car, but is speculating the purchase.. Just test drive one and you'll learn everything you need to know.

 

Nobody ever heard of a test drive?

 

Pretty much do this. Or i like to call them Test Beats

 

Test drive hooning?

 

F35 sucks, don't lie to him guys

 

Honestly I've never driven a cobalt with an f35. People say the f23 is better which makes me wonder just how bad your guys's tranny's are

 

F35 drives fine?

 

It shift's like any other manual transmission. Just has long shifter throw's so put in solid shifter bushings and a short throw like B@M and it will be a blast to drive and have a very solid shift! I know my LSJ was once B@M equipped! Just dont bang gears to hard unless you properly marked the shifter cables cause they can/will pop loose!

 

hahah thanks guys, i did testdrive one. It was my brothers friends cobalt, the reason i ask is because his was so smooth it felt like i was driving a civic.. which i did not expect so i wanted to know what you guys think.

 

You just compared a cobalt ss/sc to a civic... gtfo

 

It's what you would expect out of a high performance economy car. The throttle feel is slightly strange and the clutch/shifter engagement is fine to lacking. It's no BMW/S2000/MX-5.

 

Ok thanks man.

 

^^ This

 

I've noticed that the accelerator is very touchy on my 06, even more so than any other GM car I have driven including the C6. The shifter engagement it alright when it is warm, like any other transmission, slightly notchy even. I'm going to try to rectify this soon with a combo of Redline gearbox fluid and shifter bushings.

 

I work for Honda. The Civic Si probably has the best clutch and shift feel out of any economy sports car. I'd be pumped if my TC shifted that well.
