Ok guys I have about 23,000 miles on the balt and im hearing this buzzing noise coming from my passenger floor board when under throttle. And when I get on the accelerator it feels like im goin then all of a sudden the rpms rise faster like im in neutral, but im in an actual gear. I smell burnt plastic or clutch (?) afterwards for a while.I burned my clutch didnt I?
All oppinions appreciated. thanks

blowncobalt

Yeah, I thought so.....whats the best clutch for the money?

Darkmanx

Damn right you burnt that ****, drive around normal and stop racing.

excedy from TTR...if ur not looking for high performance just something to get u by one of the vendors has oems for sale cant remember which one...u can also try down shifting hard when u come off the freeway to scuffin up the clutch to get more life out of it

23k miles from stock clutch is not bad when you heard lot of stories from people here that it last 10-15k miles

you can also try spec 2+ i heard good things too, is not as good as the exedy but it doesnt cost a lot like the exedy niether.

the clutch is not bad its how u drive i have a friend with 60k on his car and no slip ye so........ and he has almost every bolt on

i dont think its the clutch cause if its on gear then it will stay in gear it doent matter if you have no clutch the clutch is only to disengage the gears for shifting a car can still be driven if your clutch goes out its just a bitch to do. i drove like that for six months

i have the spec stage 3+ and love it,.. just so you know when you have to buy a new one.

They call me 'E'

27k miles and zero clutch problems.

Driver mod ftw.

I'm at 14,200 right now and no problems at all, and Ive done a couple of things that would not be considered clutch friendly lol

an0malous

When my dealer had my car apart for 2nd gear going out, they found my clutch was 1/2 worn(at 5500mi). At first they said I was going to have to pay for a new clutch, but the tech told me if I wanted I could order an aftermarket clutch and they would put that in and just give me the stock parts. Apparently though GM Decided to warranty the clutch and they had my car back together less than 12 hours after that talk.

I took my car in for 2nd gear on a Monday I believe, and I had it back by Wednesday. I HIGHLY recommend Sterling Chevrolet in Sterling, IL.

Your clutch is gone, it will go completly in a few hundred miles. This is exactly what mine did, I couldnt go over 3000 rpms after 3000rpms the car acted as it was in neutral.

Alpine_Canada

I am having the exact same problem right now. How did you convince them to cover it?

red06SC

I'm over 50k and mine is just now beginning to show signs of possible failure.



Unfortunately my trans is also.


Go for the Exedy.

Orange06SC

28k miles here and no clutch issues

krazycobalt

Sounds like you burnt your clutch

Redline_Brandon

Got my Saturn dealer to cover it by calling corporate and complaining how bad my service was =) They saw me do donuts after I bought the car right across the street so they were not to happy! lol
