08 cobalt, bad engine mount?

[jmsa540]

Driving the wifes car today and all of a sudden the 1-2 shift is very jolty. Rest of the shifting isnt as bad.

Car is regularly serviced and has 168k miles on it.

Transmission, to me, doesnt seem like its slipping.

No cel.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Pop the hood and rev the engine. If it moves a significant amount, you'll know it has a bad mount or two.

Or look around with a flashlight at the mounts. You should be able to see if they are cracked/severely worn.

GM has never made motor mounts worth a damn. I have had to replace them in GM cars and trucks, just about every one I have owned.

Wiring melted. Found a youtube video with a guy having the same problem.

G2g for now.

Oh, the most found problem on the Cobalts is a pretty known issue: Everything from the Front license plate bolts back is prone to failure prematurely. You are welcome.

Ive had mine for 10 years and she has 168k on it. Ive only had to replace the throttle body and one shock.

Yes, very lucky. Statistically, only 1 out of every 16,423,467,336,775,345,744 Chevrolet's produced are actually a quality vehicle.
