Clutch thru the floorboard syndrome.... So after the 60 degree day we just had, all the snow is gone.
Today hit about 40 so I decided to take my Z for a ride and make my lil boys day (It has been 3 months)
Now remember, my Cobalt is now my DD (5 speed). Fun little peppy car with a paperweight clutch. The Z's clutch took a second to get used to again, but off I went without issue. Wow it feels good again to have instant Tq in any gear as I drive thru my neighborhood makin a ruckus with my family..........
Fast forward..........When I get back home and park the Z in the garage I have to pull the Cobalt back in the driveway. This is where the disease shows its colors. I go to start it and proceed to put my foot thru the well and kick the back of the engine.....Ok ok, not that dramatic but holy sh*t I never realized the difference in clutches till today. I never considered the textrellia in the Z as even remotely high peddle pressure but wow, what a difference.
I pulled it in, stopped and laughed at myself for a moment, then walked inside to tell the wife who just didn't get it.....hence my reason for sharing with you guys.........
Have you ever tried to lift a box you were sure was heavy only to find out as you throw it over your head that it was empty?
