Thank god FWD cars do not have to deal with RWD issues as with just stuffing mini foot balls or air bags in there. If we run a air bag, pressure is important, as well as tire pressue and suspension preloads.

Yes I know, I had a 96 full bolt on cobra with a built rear end full suspension and whatnot, FWD has to deal with no traction, broken halfshafts, or broken trans.

Broken trans seems the new trend of the week, 2 people this week with cobalt ss/tc's lost 2nd gear. One heavily modified, the other mildly.

Are they LSD or non LSD? Seems like alot of the non-LSD trans have broken. I dont think my car has enough power to break the trans. I am going to the track again on tuesday but will still be stock with tune and a k&n drop in and some used dunlop dsst 245/40s that spin just as easy as the stockers lol.

LSD, but a lot of people are saying to check the roll pin first. That they fixed the roll pin and it fixed the problem.

so not actually a broken trans then? I was expecting grenaded transmissions like a few have done.

Well this morning a guy over on the cobalt forums said 5th gear grenaded, said he even had a hole in the trans. Get this he only has 2k miles on the car and said he barely ever gets into 5th because he lives in a major city so all of his driving is 1-4.

Wow that sucks. I dont read the cobalt forums much except the parts, not enough time to follow a busy national forum.
