is there any way you can make the dealership put a new engine in your car because its slow as crap, bogs really bad, and the clutch slipsreally bad. heck even a new clutch would be great. i have complained to them several times about it and they said there is nothing wrong with the car. and blamed the clutch on the wheels and tires i had and marked off my warranty. they also said even with out the wheels my car has 43,000 miles on it out of the 3 year/36,000 BUT i had taken it in there before the b2b warranty was up. wtf

ps the transmission clicks when you take off going either in 1st or reverse maybe new tranny too?

 

uhm...if your clutch is slipping its not gonna feel fast...

get a tune?

and maybe driver abuse?

a hydraulic clutch/trans will click...mine does

 

Relax, it's a Cobalt, it's supposed to be slow.

 

on take off the rpms wont go up like a slipping clutch it bogs like im pulling a trailer but every shift it will slip.

its sure not my trans am! i get depressed when i start the cobalt and hear the buzz instead of the lopey rumble

 

warrenty work has its own warrenty. its a 12month or 12k mile. whichever comes first. if its out of that period. nothin they can do..

 

the problems with the engine being gutless now started a little after my MAF sensor wire broke causing the car to run crazy out of whack. there are no CEL and no codes. could it be possible the cat is plugged? or the o2 sensors being jacked and not throwing the codes?

 

try disconnecting the battery(10min or so) to clear any ghost CELs if there is any...

 

also... when i took it in to find out about the clutch the idiots took my intake off and never tightened it back up... i had to scrape dirt out of the throttle body then use throttle body cleaner to clean it the rest of the way. i called the dealership and all they done was pretty much said ooops sorry tighten it up.

 

When my cat got plugged my CEL light came on. so its probs not that
