why am i grinding when i go into 3rd?
Ok so i have an 06 base model with the 2.2 and the 5speed transmission. THis just started yesterday and what happens is that no matter what i do every single time i shift into 3rd it grinds (usually really bad but sometimes its minimal). this is also the same for reverse but that only happens when i am sitting still trying to put it into reverse.
Anyone have this problem? or have any solutions? I was just trying to get a quick idea of what was going on before i took it to the dealer. Thank you so much for all the help

You'll notice this to happen when you sit idle for a few minutes before shifting into reverse, it's common.
Before shifting into reverse, shift to first for a moment then to reverse, it won't grind.
Not sure about the thirs gear issue, you should have it looked at by your dealer.

yea well i have noticed the 1st to reverse thing works so thats what i have been doing. But yea i had planned on taking it to the dealer but since it was the transmission and i have no clue about anything to do with transmissions i wanted to know a basic idea of what it might be before i was to take it in.
Thanks for the fast replies guys.

My buds did it in 3rd gear they had to work on the tranny, it was back ordered, so its probably a common problem, Go get that warranty work done

Do all cobalts exhibit this problem, or is it just the base model? I'm strongly considering a Cobalt SS/SC, but I don't want to purchase one if the tranny is junk. Thanks.

Sorry, I spoke poorly- I meant to say it sounds like that's his problem- I'm pretty sure that the problem with mine is with the shift cable.
