A best practice is still a best practice. Your Cobalt may have a very high quality bearing. The clutch may also not have that much force meaning those bearings aren't under as much pressure when holding the pedal down at a lightinteresting.... driven a stick all my life, have a cobalt w 264k miles on it and have always sat at stoplights in gear........
its not.Or it's whining like a flock of bees and the driver simply doesn't notice.
How many Miles on your jeep? Glad you are getting it fixed under warranty.Jeeps in the shop getting a new clutch under warranty- slipping and burning. Pressure plate issue. Finally- fourth time I had taken it in saying the clutch was an issue.
Your transmission can't be downshifted, and you are okay with that? If my transmission was popping out of gear, I would definitely have them replace the transmission under warranty.definitely , downshifting is for the most part reserved for particularity challenging situations and I just drive it like an automatic , don't get me wrong it's still rides great
It’s a cable shifter. Doubt a new transmission is needed, but I’d be demanding they fix to be sure. (Those who have replaced their own clutches with center force posted about what a PITA to adjust this cables).Your transmission can't be downshifted, and you are okay with that?

That's interesting. I wonder why you would need to adjust the shift cable for a clutch replacement on a hydraulic clutch?It’s a cable shifter.

You don’t, but one guy took off the bracket holding the cables thinking he needed the room and had a hell of a time getting it adjusted right. I’m too lazy to look for the thread.I wonder why you would need to adjust the shift cable for a clutch replacement on a hydraulic clutch?
I never said it's popping out , the reason I downshift randomly is to preserve the clutch for as long as possible before the time comes to replace itYour transmission can't be downshifted, and you are okay with that?

Highway speeds, I've found no improvement in mpg using 5th or 6th. 4th gear up to 80. Towing I've run 3rd gear at 70-75 for miles on end and no improvement moving to 4th as it doesn't even have enough power to hold the speed.Uhh I do precautionary downshifts to get into the power curve. If it's 2mi up a hill with a bunch of merging traffic (that hasn't learned how to merge), instead of 5th at 1.9krpm and 14mpg, I'd rather have 4th at 2.4krpm and 14mpg.
But Anaximander is still an and not dropping to 3rd at 3.6krpm just to blow past people going up a hill.
Impossible. It’s a fucking Chevy.A best practice is still a best practice. Your Cobalt may have a very high quality bearing. The clutch may also not have that much force meaning those bearings aren't under as much pressure when holding the pedal down at a light
I just put a downpayment on 5.13 gear upgrade last week. Should be a few weeks until I can get it completed but can't wait to get 5th and 6th gear back.Highway speeds, I've found no improvement in mpg using 5th or 6th. 4th gear up to 80.

I'm anxious to hear your feedback on it!I just put a downpayment on 5.13 gear upgrade last week. Should be a few weeks until I can get it completed but can't wait to get 5th and 6th gear back.
