Well me and my good friend Tony took the tranny out of the cobalt tonight. After looking things over, the disc still has plenty of life left and there aren't any hot spots on the flywheel. The pressure plate is actually worn to the point where the ceramic pads have nothing left to bite into.
I purchased a Bully Stage IV clutch about a year and a half ago. Originally it came with a six puck ceramic disc. But the problem with that disc was that I couldn't shift the car above 6,500 rpm's. Of course now that the car has a stock tune on it I don't rev it that high anymore. But at the time I still had a tuned ecu with a small pulley and bigger injectors. And I had the rev limiter set at 7,500 rpm's.
So Bully sent me a four puck clutch. The reasoning for this was that the six puck disc weighed too much and it put to much centrifugal rotating mass on the tranny, not allowing it to go into gear at high RPM's. This disc has been in the car for all of 5,000 miles, and it's already messed up.
I originally paid almost 1,000 bucks for this setup and it sucks that the PP is basically crap. So I'm ordering a stock OEM disc and PP from the dealer. We also found a leaking passenger side axle seal that needs to be replaced and a small hole in the driver's side inner axle boot. But I plan on fixing that with a little silicone though.
I'm also gonna need brake pads soon! AHHHH!!!!
I'm dirty and tired so I'm going to bed now...
