is it the same transmission? I know its not the same engine and hopefully I still can do my own oil changes easy but I am also hoping its a different transmission because I was not very fond of the 06 trans. If it is the same I for sure wont be as hard on it
How about the air filter, hoping it is the same so I can put my drop in K&N filter in there.
I know the tires are the same size so I shouldn't have any problems transferring my winter tires over. By the way I the difference is huge on my 06 aveo. I live in winnipeg and the roads can get very bad, before this winter I never had winter tires and felt like I was always driving on the edge of loosing control even when going slow. Now I can hardly get to that edge even if I try.
Why am I upgrading? well they couldn't figure out what was wrong with my car, I kept getting the P0502 (vehicle speed sensor circuit low voltage or something to that effect)error code but they could not reproduce it. and they tell me it has something to do with the clutch slipping and saying its driver induced/nothing they can do about it because nothing is wrong. They even contacted there tech support and found zero cases of this code being thrown. Its hard for me to believe that I am the only aveo owner who can get it to throw this code. after reseting the code RPM's would usually be limited to 5000 for a while. Oh and my DYI cruise stopped working after 3 years of zero problems. ( I love cruise) and occasionally when pressing in the clutch to coast the RPMs drop real low and on numerous occasions has stalled the engine completely. I am not sure if all of this is related or what. all these problems along with some other ones that were resolved seemed to start after my car was hit last december while I was working.
