I am hoping that mine is not that serious but they won't even acknowledge that there is a problem. My truck shifts ok it's just the problem on takeoff.

I previously posted about this under the title "Bangs into Gear". 2016 Silverado 4x4 4.3, 6 speed trans with 24000 miles. Sometimes when shifting from park to drive or reverse to drive the transmission doesn't engage in drive and when I go to accelerate the engine revs up and bangs into gear like a stall converter. And no I am not giving it gas before I put it in gear. It only does it after the transmission fluid temp gets above 130 degrees. I took it in for service at the local GM dealer and they said it is operating as designed and that I need to wait 3 seconds after putting it in gear before accelerating. Wait 3 seconds?! Does anybody do that?! It's amazing what they come up with to get out of fixing something.

When I said "mash the accelerator" I didn't mean floor it, just taking off normal. When I ease into it real slow it revs a little then kind of jerks and grabs. It doesn't do it all the time. I'm trying to pinpoint when it does it the most. My truck has the six speed transmission. Most of the problems that I see on here are with the eight speed. Mine has no shudder and shake, no problems shifting, just the problem on take off.

No the motor is not revving on it's own. It does feel like I'm doing a neutral drop, I did plenty of those back 40 yrs ago. When I put it in drive and after it's fully engaged I mash on the accelerator and it revs up and bangs into gear just like a stall converter. So I'm thinking the torque converter is going out. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem.

Yeah I plan on taking it in. Just wondered if anyone had the same issue and knew what the problem was.

I'm having a problem with my 2016 Silverado 4x4 with a locking differential and 4.3 V6 engine. Not sure if it's the transmission or the locking differential but sometimes when I shift from park to drive or reverse to drive and start to take off the engine will rev like it's in neutral and then bang into gear. Has anyone had this problem or have an idea what's going on?
