Best Answer

The most common cause for transmission slip is low trans fluid level. The cobalt doesnt have a dipstick to check the fluid. You have to get under the car and while the engine is at normal operating temperature (AND STILL RUNNING) remove the transmission oil level plug that is located on the passenger side of the trans near where the CV axle enters the transmission. Pour fluid into the TOP of the transmission until fluid come out of the oil level plug hole. The filler hole for the transmission is marked by a red cap, just behind the oil filter canister (driver side of the engine compartment). The transmission automatically sets is fluid level using that hole. It sounds difficult, but its really not.
