well theres a few post about how to avoid wheel hop. BUT, what do you do while experiencing wheel hop? when i get it is when i shift in to 2nd gear and thats when i experience it. even pushing the clutch doesnt really stop it, i have to shift in to 3rd to get over it. your thoughts

 

i try to avoid it cause of the potential damage but if it happens i let off the gas and im all good

 

yeah just get off the gas and shift to the higher gear but if you feather the clutch when you launch...you shouldnt have a problem art. But that is not good neither...so i suggest dont do any.

 

atm the moment i get it during 2nd gear. i ve tried letting of the gas but it really didnt stop it, but shifting to 3rd takes care of it for the most part. it happen to me big time this morning. i must say, it is totally embarrassing!!!! jerking like that.

 

You get wheelhop in second?? is your car stock??

 

was it wet out art?? it is real bad when it is wet. I also get hop in second when its wet.

 

yae i know what ya mean id get it in 1st then hard shift in second it would happen sometimes.. i got solid motor mounts an traction bars to fix that lol... but i us to let of the gas then ease back on it an it would stop..

 

yeah stock, just got it a week ago, just close to 500 miles. i m going to start pushing her a little more. just need to get the traffic out of my way!
no it wasnt wet. i m still learning how to driver her. she wants to GO and i have to slow her down! almost to much woman for me
also my 1st experience with a shortshifter also a little different shifting then my LT

 

if i shift right i avoid it. i was out with her this morning and i think after a week of having her we re finally getting use to one another. also i think i ve finally got my seat where it needs to be!

 

I think I know what your talking about. If so, it's not really wheel hop. My wife does it alot cuz she likes sitting as far back as possible but she is pretty short and she doesn't plant her foot too well on the floor. While shifting, if she pops the clutch just a little bit the car starts to lunge forward and then she gets off the gas just a tad. When that happens her foot starts to move ever so slightly cuz it's not really resting on the floor too good. Then the car starts to decelerate a little which makes her foot go back on the pedal again. And that process repeats itself pretty fast. That along with the slack of the stock tranny mounts and motor mounts makes the car kinda bunny hop a little bit.

If you push the clutch in it dont help. And if you get off the accelerator it dont really help. The only real help once you start the bunny hopping is to upshift in to 3rd gear.

Is that what your talking about?

 

clutch out , and whats up with your sig

2007 Victory Red Chevy Cobalt SS supercharger: Its a SS supercharger, need i say more!!

 

ahh yae if your just learning how to drive its not wheel hop its the lunging motion.. my girlfriend does it when i attempt to teach her how to drive standard on my car

 

Umm, wheel hop will not persist if you're in neutral. In other words, pressing your clutch in will make it stop unless you're not pushing in your clutch enough.

 

yeah Um... it's an SS SuperchareD not superchargeR. It has a Supercharger, but it is an SS Supercharged.

oh and its is the possessive of it. it's is it is.

 

you only got 1 for 2 on the spelling yourself

And your definition of It's is kinda nuts. "it's is it is". Try saying that 3 times as fast as you can.

 

wow now you guys have me confussed

 

buy the ingalls...helped with my wheel hop like crazy...feather the clutch from 2k and once ur rpm reaches 4500-5k floor it then and shift to 2nd and WOT it all the way.

 

Your sig should read like this

2007 Victory Red Chevy Cobalt SS supercharged: It's an SS supercharged, need i say more!!

Proper spelling and grammar FTW!!!

 

Get off the throttle?

 

Well if we are going to pick on him for spelling and grammar, lets at least give the right correction.

It's AN SS supercharged

 

Maybe, that could go either way. Technically, it should be, but only because of the sound. I figured I would get in trouble for either way I posted that. Ill change it then

And I wasn't trying to pick on him, just clarify a little bit.

 

dam you guys are right, it is SS supercharged, shows who wasnt paying attention

 

isn't it A SS SUPERCHARGED... i don't think it is an... you only use an when after it is a vowel... i think.. it has been along time since 3rd grade..... lol

 

That sounds like what he's talking about. It happens when you're too quick in letting out the clutch or not smooth on the throttle. Solidifing the mounts will help prevent that, as will practice, practice, practice.

Also, if you're in any gear but 1st, you can just accelerate out of it. 1st is a little touchier.

FWIW, bad wheel-hop will sound like you're driving down a set of stairs.

 

Solidifying the mounts will make the car jerk harder, but stop it sooner. Learning to drive is how to solve that problem. I guarantee after a little while you will never have that probelm. Its just learning to drive the car correctly.
