This 2005 cobalt has been very well maintained and never driven hard. My trustworthy mechanic says he has had to replace/rebuild a lot of these transmissions. He feels strongly GM should issue a recall on them.

my first transmission lost reverse at 75,000 miles. bought another chevrolet cobalt used transmission. when the mileage hit 52,000 i lost reverse. i am now installing a third transmission. my car has 105000 miles total

My 2005 Cobalt wont go into reverse. takes a long time to kick into gear. I was lucky to get this covered under warranty. only costed me 136 for labor. However all i have had is problem out of this car. who ever knew they made cars that u cant check fluid levels in. i think shops designed this car. ha ha
