stock with just a k&n, 7500 miles, my car is fucked. clutch bounces and slips horribly into 2nd, and my engine is steadily dripping oil from somewhere on the bottom end of the engine, seemingly near the starter and bellhousing. i dont know happened but its just falling apart. oh yeah i also get the infamous p0171 dtc from the k&n. i know the clutch is a common ailment for the ss/sc but an oil leak? what the hell. as much fun as it was when i bought it, ive really grown to hate this car

 

I'll give you 50$ + a gokart for it.

 

$75.00 and a skate board!!!

 

300 dollars and an airbox from a 2.2!

 

$500....and a $1 hooker to boot!

 

**** after what I've had to fix on my SS/SC by myself, I'll give you a $100 and a beer for it! I could have that stuff fixed in no time at all!

 

It sounds like a rear main seal may have gone and is getting oil on the clutch, hence why the clutch is slipping and oil is coming from that area.

 

lots of wheel hop?

 

How do you drive it? do you beat on it?

 

Hmmm, that sounds possible. Try looking into that bro!

 

SOLD! to 05BlackCobaltSS for $500 and the hooker
after getting it on the lift, i see that its the tranny gasket that has separated (two piece transmission case) and is spewing fluid across my bottom end. its still bad news but not nearly as bad as the head gasekt or rear main seal as i thought. i get to see how bad 2nd gear is chewed up tomorrow when we remove the trans and disassemble it. also will see if the clutch / flywheel is fubar.

i guess its not that hard to believe. i do wheel hop alot and generally beat the **** out of it

 

i feel your pain, 2K5SS/SC?. i went through that same **** when i had my 03 J-body. scattered an engine and tranny, fried a BCM, fixed it all, then traded that bish ASAP for my SS/SC

 

Sicklyscott is also right. the rear main seal is shot. so its gonna need a new seal and block plug too what the hell could have caused this **** to fail?

 

y not take it in to the dealership, you do still have your warenty right?

 

thats why wheelhop sux.... get some traction mods before you blow it up again

 

Threads like this scare me, I have a hard time remembering that this isn't my 02 SS that I could beat the crap out of. It's a little car that won't hold up after too much abuse.

 

dude... look in my sig... and no problems with my car running stock axles and clutch.... you kick the **** outta any car on a daily basis and it will break wether it be a ferrari or a chevy

 

it does look like they are going to warrenty the rear main seal, block plug, and tranny gasket. however the verdict is still out on the clutch. they seem to think fixing the aforementioned problems may solve the slipping, and if not, then i'll have to see about getting the clutch done under warrenty.

ya i drive my car hard. if you arent breaking ****, you arent driving hard enough

 

Yea, that's a good motto, if either you have a cool dealer or if you've got money!

 

not alot of money, but i am pretty well cool with that dealership. i just tell myself that to justify the endless amounts of **** that i inevitably put into a vehicle

 

anyone else in the position of making payments on a car that is sitting in a garage and not driveable? it fu(king sucks
