    2008 Chevy Cobalt Sport-- Is the transmission slipping and needing replaced?

    Aaron, Have you replaced the Catalytic converter? Also You can find a rebuilt trans for about $1000 and used ones for $400. I know how you feel I bought mine in May 2008 with 7 miles on the clock (5 miles were the test drive) and put all of the rest of the 351809 on myself. I will probably keep...

    New to the forum, might be buying a 07 Cobalt Ls manual

    I have a 2008 LS coupe w/5 spd with 351809 miles. it has the original clutch, spark plugs and timing chain; it is worth more to me than $1800. I am afraid to buy a new car for fear it will not be as reliable as my cobalt. Now I would not claim that every Cobalt is worth that. But if the one you...

    Installed a new stereo, one speaker doesnt work.

    Is it the factory speaker? those are junk mine went out after about 4 years. I would try a new/different speaker. That's the one you hear your blinker and warning chimes.

    09 LT with a prob...

    Could it be a bad Cat? My wife had that same issue with her 08 Malibu with the 2.4l, turned out to be a bad Cat. that was around 80k. IDK something fairly easy to check just a few bolts and you can remove the Cat and look to see if it is clogged. I replaced mine with a stainless ZZP Cat back...

    Hi all, New Cobalt.

    Just a word of caution. If you do clean the throttle body make sure you do not move the butterfly valve I finally decided to clean mine for the first time at 210,000 miles since our Suburban threw a CEL for that at 48,000.
