As far as the 2005-2007 SS supercharged cobalt I did not post on that and I am not saying the parts are the same as the 2008 HHR. The 05-07 Cobalt also has a MU3 transmission but the clutch is a different part number than the 2008 HHR and 2008 Cobalt so the tranmission may also be.

Ok hope I am clearer on that. Yes? No? Clear as mud?
part of this seems kinda directed at my statement, so i'll clarify my reason for posting what i did. i was in no way trying to cause confusion between the SS/SC and SS/TC. on the first page a couple people mentioned wondering why some people still say (not in this thread) that the trans is different between the HHR SS and SS/TC Cobalts. that was expressly the comment i was going after. might have been better if i quoted it, sorry. you've been very clear in your talks about the two, and i (and hopefully others) are not in confusion over what you have been saying. (for clarification) the two turbo models have the same trans, with different gearing, same clutch/flywheel. the SC is different, so no one should bother lookin at those parts for our cars.

In these small displacement engines, a lightweight flywheel can be tough to deal with, both from normal starting to hard launching. Another thing to be careful about is the "puck" type clutch discs. They can be very touchy engaging.

Good luck all!!
Turbo tech has nothing I called today and they make nothing for the 2.0L Turbo-Charged motors

I found a site a month ago on the Clutches for the Cobalt SS TC but can't find it. Call SPEC Clutches and ask them

I have friends with his SPEC 3 Clutch and putting 700 PLUS RWHP down. I've only heard good things from people using Spec clutches. Im sure our wimpy 2.0 engine will be an easy accomplishment. :)_

One of my friends works at spec. I've been talking to him about a clutch, but he had to go to SEMA, Willow button,and Irwindale. I think he will be back this week.
