After a while i couldn't ignore it anymore so i took to my dad as he does a lot of home repairs and is more knowledgeable than i am.

It wouldn't kick, make noise or anything it was just weird.

By chance do you know where and how much it should cost to have the ECM re-calibrated?įor symptoms, shortly after we bought it i noticed a SERIOUS lack of power on first gear, we would be pressing on the pedal but all it would do is make the RPMs go up (to about 4-4500) till it finally changed gear. As far as performance i don't really have anything in mind i just want the car to run well as intended haha. Thanks for the reply! Yea i figured it would be easier to just get the Cobalt one, I only purchased the HHR one as it was newer so I was expecting it to be in better shape, they did have cobalt ones but were older and not as good looking. My question is will doing the plain swap work? and if so, will the different ratios have a negative effect on the car or ruin it farther? also will I HAVE to reprogram the TCM or can I just leave it as is?

I found one today that belonged to a 2010 Chevy HHR for a good price and bought it since I was told it will work for my Cobalt. Right now we can't afford that as we are both going to school in the fall, I have a friend who was a mechanic and suggested to just swap it with a used transmission as it will be much cheaper. Long story but I'll try to summarize, I took it to a mechanic and said the tranny will have to be rebuilt or replaced, he said he would have to send it out and gave an estimate of around 2500.
