not shifting into first all the way
this is one a 06 cobalt ss s/c. with 12000 miles. when i put it into 1st normal it feels like it doesn't go all the way. i can tell the clutch is slipping on it too. then when i go to shift to second as soon as i hit the clutch and put the slightest pressure on the shifter it pops out of gear. now, if i throw it into first hard and push forward on it it goes into first all the way. no slipping and no popping out. so today i was playing with it before i started it. when i put it into first hard, i can feel it make like 2 jumps into gear. not sure if this is related or not but, sometimes it wont even go into first unless i got from second then to first. also sometimes it wont go into reverse unless i put it in a different gear first. any ideas? still under warranty put i want to see what you guys say first so i know if what they tell me is bullshit or not. thanks for the help!!

Throw it in 3rd to clear the gears if it wont go into first. I have the same problem sometimes. As far as the clutch slipping.. It's just the shitty stock clutch that can barely handle the stock torque-- Not to mention the horrible slips the more modded you get.

not needed, i know how to drive, you shouldnt need to have to physically throw the shifter into a gear. especially on a car that is 2 years old and only 12000 miles.

the only time it slips is when it wont go into first the right way. other then that it doesnt slip at all.
