2008 Cobalt SS/TC CLUTCH ENGAGING
Does everyone who has a new 08 Cobatl SS/TC hear the clutch engage and disengage loudly when shifting or is it just me?

I can hear the whirring of the synchronizers when shifting, but I don't think I've ever heard the clutch... Ill listen on the way home from work this morning.

I have 838 miles on my car.
I hear the tires on a lot of roads but other then that I have the radio turned up a lot most of the time.
I can hear the trans when I back up but just driving down the road no I can not hear the clutch.
I am probably the only one here that does not have LSD on his car.

Clutch / gear engagement noise is about the same as my old ss/sc, tire noise is defintely more, but interior feels so much better. I had squeaks and rattles within the first week of ownership on the old car.
And yes, the clutch definitely gets heavier after the first tank...but still not as heavy as the ss/sc. And the engagement point is closer to the floor, which I enjoy.

6'5", I could have fit if I didnt mind driving laying down in a horrible driving position, but I like to be safe with both hands on the wheel in the correct placement with the right amount of bend in my arms (not stretching to reach the wheel)

Ah, that'll do it. I'm 6'2", and I just keep the seat at the bottom-most position.

no way steddy2112 i dont have a sunroof either, my old 2007 ss/sc had a sunroof leak and gm couldn't fix it so they bought it back from me and gave me a ss/tc i had it ordered without a sunroof of course. Oh and yes my clutch is a little loud when going from 1st to 2nd have about 950 miles on it
