Worn clutch bands maybe or low oil pressure perhaps.

it won't if there are no leaks

The first thing I'd check is the level of the transmission fluid. Make sure the vehicle is level, and is up to normal operating temperature. Check It while it is running. If it's low, there's your problem. If it's okay, then you may need to change the transmission fluid and filter. The transmission filter is similar to a filter on an A/C unit. Like a screen to catch the junk in the fluid. It's located inside the transmission pan on the bottom of the vehicle. If you do it yourself, make sure you use the right type of transmission fluid. Filters and fluid are relatively inexpensive to replace.
With all of that being said, all of that information was for an automatic transmission. Not for a standard transmission. If your transmission fluid level is okay, and doesn't need changing. Take heart, that doesn't mean you're looking at a complete transmission replacement either.

On the passenger side. It's under the car. Look where the axle goes into the transmission. To the right of it is an 11 mm plug to remove. Start the car, let it warm up. The car has to be level. with the car running, Remove the plug, fluid should come out in a small stream or steady drip.

Brand doesn't matter as long as it is ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) Should take in between 3 and four quarts. thats a guess cause i personally never work on chevys.

listen for fuel pump when u turn key to on [not start] should hear a hum-check for pressure at fuel port -if pressure need to start checking sensors a bad crankcase position sensor--camshaft position sensor --bad egr valve--can shut down and not allow start those components sometimes dont throw a code

No that temperature is not too hot for your engine. The system is apperntly kicking in at 240 from what your saying and then it starts to cool itself down. One of your fans may be going bad if you keep blowing fuses.

On the Cobalt the car maker says that the fluid level only needs to be checked when the fluid is drained or when you have an obvious leak.If the fluid were to go low it would slip or you would loose drive.If you put to much fluid could foam and cause fluid loss.I would recommend that you take it to a shop and let them check it since the check plug is under the car.

The transmission is sealed. It is intended the fluidis to never need to be checked or changed. The dealer has a probe to check this function.
