When traveling in any gear in my bone stock 2005 chevy Cobalt 2. 2 coupe, if I attempt to accelerate quickly the clutch slips and the car wont accelerate at all. It feels like the pressure plate doesn't apply enough pressure to hold the disc. It has almost caused me to be rear ended a couple of times now. The car has a little over 20,000 miles on it so it's still fairly new and I am not a first timer driving a manual. All of my vehicles have had manual transmissions. I drive the car in a normal fashion, I don't abuse it. The clutch assembly should not be failing on such a new vehicle.

I was driving along at 50 mph in 5th gear. The shifter came out of gear. I pulled over shut off the engine restarted it and tried to get the transmission in 1st gear with no success. Had the vehicle towed to the dealership. Dealership is advising that the clutch is completely worn out and they want $2,000. 00 to fix it. The vehicle is just one years old and only 12,000 miles. I do not down shift, ride the clutch or dump the clutch. We have spoken to many transmission specialist and they have informed us that it is impossible to destroy and clutch in only 12,000 miles and one year of driving. They advise that the pressure plate was faulty from the factory.

Got out from tim hortons after driving on the highway, tried to shift second gear and it did not with 3800 kms on it cannot drive my car, nothing has been done as of yet.

I was downshifting from third to second gear after slowing down dramatically on a turn and my car made a clunk sound. Come to find out my clutch burnt up and my starter then was fried and that it bust a ring of some sort. My car only had 464 miles on it. It has been sent to a dealer and gm denied it it has been there for a month and they have just told me about a week ago now they have to re/evaluate it and the aren't doing crap is say it is going to cost about 1600 hundred dollars for stuff that should be covered under warranty or recalled or something.

I have a new 2005 Cobalt ss with 10,000 miles on it I just purchased this car 4 days ago and the clutch slips pretty bad.

My problem is with the clutch I have 12000 miles on my car and clutch is slipping under load.

Clutch on my 2005 Cobalt ss will not clamp down at high rpms in second gear. It feels like the pressure plate is not grabbing hard enough.

11/24/05 clutch burning odor, was told it was normal exhaust coating burning off 12/27/05 clutch slipping while on highway, proceeded to the dealership, where it took almost 3 weeks and cost me 1600 dollars to replace a failing clutch. Later confirmed for a private mechanic that the clutch was too weak for the cars hp rating. I am not the only Cobalt ss/SC to have this failure.

Clutch will slip under load.
