    Hey all! This is my first post on TSL; glad to be a part of the community. So, there has been talk here and there about swapping the internals of the Cobalt F40 gearbox into our F25s. I know Nick said on his site that it's a direct swap. Has anyone on here actually done this modification? If...

  14. Car Problems? NG900 or old 9-3 Only
    When I put the transmission in my 900 into gear, or shift gears, I usually get a thunk sort of noise when the clutch grabs. I am going to overnight-bleed the clutch...hopefully that does something. It has done this for as long as I can remember. It has a new clutch master cylinder, slave...
