I am not sure why the gearing of a '05 Cobalt SS is so great. Isn't the LSD in the Cobalt tranny the reason that tranny is so responsive? Consider the following research I have done on the following gear ratios:
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Final Drive
1999 Viggen 3.38:1 1.76:1 1.18:1 0.89:1 0.66:1 4.05:1
2000 " " " " " " "
2001 " " " " " " "
2005 Cobalt SS " " " " 0.70:1 4.05:1
I'm not trying to be an authoritative voice here, rather, I just want to understand why there are those on this board who feel the internals of a Cobalt tranny kicks. Really, isn't the Cobalt SS tranny just a Saab tranny with an LSD and a different 5th gear?
