it looks like it is related to traction control still doing my research. I took my wifes Malibu put it in the yard tied off to my pickup and broke traction got same throttle feel as my goblin. I am not sure however if it is same. but sure acted like it.

Well it has been quite awhile since I have been here as the problem has been solved. We all pull our hair out until we find it. Mine has to do with the clutch switch that shows the peddle is released. ( I know most do away with this switch) but for whatever Goblin reason mine has to see it work but then it don't like it so with some mild trickery it sees it work but once peddle is at the top the circuit is the open again. The car is happy so don't fix whatever it was just get in set down buckle up and drive.

Anyway now that I have gotten everybody up to date on my build here are a couple of pictures of a donor to take me from NA to SC. Still trying to figure out what is what in the trans department I would very much like to up grade maybe higher gear ratio maybe posi but have to search the forums here and learn how to see what tranny we have as the build list has been removed

Considering that I think it has jumped time as I can only turn the engine over about 3/4 turn then it locks up. So all external parts of engine. I have considered building up wire harness and use ECM just to save some rewire headache saved but just not sure yet. Thought I would spend endless hours going over forum posts to make a decision.

So Please forgive any info that may not be correct here but I believe that I have currently in the car a F23? My build came from a very very basic two door Cobalt. So with that being said we see several things that peak a bit of concern. current car is all 4 lug the next donor is 5 lug the donor has a stub shaft on pass. side mine does not and the speed sensor is in the tranny on my build and the F35 has speed sensor on stub shaft. So I guess all my questions is this will my car see the new speed sensor okay and are the splines in the CVs the same if not how hard is it to fix.
Please don't say not a problem Jim. just take a hammer and beat this that way and a hot wrench and cut this here and then weld that there then all will be fine. My main concern is being ten buck two with hill billy bob behind a parts counter in tumbleweed city and having to remember what mods where done to get this in.

Does your base model motor have the mounting holes for the intermediate shaft support bearing?
I know an F35 can be replaced with an F23 on an LSJ because I've done it. Base model axles and trans mounts, F23 slave cylinder/TOB, and LSJ clutch. I'd imagine the reverse could be done if you can get the intermediate shaft mount attached to the block.
The inner CV splines are different between F23 and F35, the outer CV splines are the same for all Cobalts except for the LNF.
I'm not aware of any F35 with a sensor on the intermediate shaft. Both my F23 and F35 had the speed sensor in the same general location on the transmissions, but the reverse switch is in a different spot on the transmission. You'll need a tune to keep the speedometer accurate, but the speed sensors are otherwise compatible.
If I were in your shoes and I had a non-LSD F35, I'd keep the F23 if it worked fine.
Let me know if you have any more questions or if I haven't answered the ones you've already asked!

The group I had over Sunday seemed to agree that it must be a speed sensor as both abs sensors are on the wheels and the only other thing we find has to be back up on the tranny itself

Looking at Rockauto the do show NON Abs hubs for front and rear
The shaft speed sensor also has a different number of reluctor teeth than the ones with the sensor inside the trans. So ECU has to be set for that sensor for it to work right.
That might be part of the problem if Traction Control is looking for a certain signal? Not exactly sure. I'm not an expert on Cobalts... just the Ion Redline.
And they don't have TCC.
