transmition problems...fml
Sooo the cobalt ss I have is running however there is a grinding noise and when I do a uturn it doesn't want to accelerate when I press on the gas untill I straghten out the weels the rpms will go up but the car will just not accelerate ti I do so.it only does it when I am making the uturn. But the grinding noise is all the time. Doses this mean I have to replace the transmition or can I save it and just get it servised asap. If I were to replace the transmition how much am I looking at spending? I wanna know before I take it in and they tell me something when I could do it a less excpencive way trying to get me to spend as much as possible
Thank D

SC/TC/Or NA? Different trans. Mine makes a grinding sound on u-turns, but I'm pretty sure it's from tire rub Almost sounds like clutch slip. When you try to accel, the RPMs go up, but you don't accel? Correct?

That's a really good question I have no clue how do I tell? And yea when I do a uturn it doesn't accelerate till I straghten out the weels. Its also not putting out as much power when accelerating say like from a red light it will shoot off but to go faster it will take a sec or two. I need all the info I can get seeing as of how every time I go into the repair shop since I a chick I get a lot more bs...I may not know much about this car but I'm not stupid either

Where are you from? The slip sounds like a clutch..The S/C's clutches are garbage...if you put a stage 2 on your car you will need a clutch b.c it is going to slip not if, it will slip...if you need a clutch get a upgraded slave and throw out baring.

I have a Exedy clutch and flywheel and haven't had a problem. I use to have a SPEC stage 3+ and I had a lot of problems out of it. As far as the grinding noise I will google and see what I can find about turning and making that noise.

Automatic means it is a 2.4L SS/NA. If it grinds all the time that is not a good thing. It also sounds like you are getting clutch slip, but on an automatic that is more complicated than on a manual. You are going to have to take the car to a transmission shop and have them give you an estimate, it probably isn't going to be cheap.

OK let me help you out again:
The spelling of transmission is the following. Say each letter aloud:
"T"-"R"-"A"-"N"-"S"-"M"-"I"-"S"-"S"-"I"-"O"-"N"
Ok lets try proper pronunciation again:
Trans = "Trans"
Mission = "Mish"-"Shun"
altogether now:
"Trans"-"Mish"-"Shun"
