I hear a knocking noise everthime I start the car. The wierd thing is that when I press the clutch in it goes away completely. Do you think my cables are out of adjustment or something? I'm going to take it to the dealership probably tomorrow.

 

Gm Has To Recall All Cobalts Because The Problem Its Getting Bigger

 

I Think The Problem Has To Do With The Clautch

 

I hate the fact that, just as everything seems to be coming together with my car, something else falls apart. Has anyone else had this noise too?

 

that's a throwout bearing in your clutch pack... it's normal, especially if the clutch takes a beating.
I had one do it forever. It's not a big deal.

^^^Yup that's what it is. When they installed the new engine, they didn't put a new TOB in.

 

It's the TOB. I have this knocking noise when i start the car, then if I pop the clutch a little bit it knocks too. It's really annoying. I've taken it in before. They tightened all of my mounts motor, and tranny mounts. That seemed to solve the problem for two weeks. Now the god damn knock is back. Has anyone else experienced this problem that's not the TOB? My engine has never been replaced...

 

With the clutch engaged I get a weirdd knocking noise as well.

 

I still have not pinpointed it yet, but it's damn near driving me crazy! I replaced the clutch and slave cylinder/TOB and I still have this damn noise! Grrr....

Did you have the dealership try tightening the motormounts. Thats what worked on my car before. I gotta schedule an appointment for mine tho.

 

I'll have to look into that. What do you mean actually though? The bolts to the block (bracket bolts), or the bolts to the chassis? I seriously think it's the Slave cylinder again because my old one looked like crap when I removed it. I will say the stock motormounts are way to damn soft for tthe car though.

 

At the delership they tightened all the mounts.

 

Well I dropped off my vehicle today and they ordered all new mounts for my car.

 

Well if it goes away when u put the clutch in I have no clue but my SS makes a tapping/knocking noise sometimes on startup b/c of a sticky cam follower. Ask your dealer about that.

 

I have this sound as well, its rather annoying, but not too bad... **sound of me screaming while beating my car with a pipe wrench**

 

yea my ss automatic does the same thing but for some reason if the car is parked on a flat surface it wont knock but when is slanted in my drive way it does

 

well I have heard this too and I have an automatic like 06sscobalt, it has been a few times and only when is was friggin cold out.

 

This noise is about ready to make me scream and blow up my damn car! Last night after the third clutch bleeding to resolve the problem, the car still squealed and won't go into gear during heavy load on the engine. **** this car. I want out now! I can't even trade the SOB in because of this damn noise!!!! Grrrr.......

 

its the pilot release bearing, take it in for warrenty....

 

**********UPDATE**********

After taking my car in 3 times for new motormounts. They have finally been replaced. My car is 100% better now. It definitely was the motormounts. I'm gettin better traction now too....

 

do you think the ingalls etd would solve this problem as well?
