10 speed Transmission issues banging.

I have a 2019 GMC Sierra 6.2L Denali, 10 speed transmission, with 36K miles on the truck.  I have recently noticed when the truck decelerates more than 20 mph, and then if I accelerate, I hear a single bang sound coming from the transmission as soon as I start to accelerate.  It is like the transmission is not prepared to go into the lower gear and jams itself into gear to accelerate.  There is no delay in the acceleration that I can tell, but it is a noticeable bank or thud sound of metal on metal.  Once it is in gear, it accelerates as normal, and there are no other sounds.  This will only happen after the truck has warmed up 10+ min and does not happen if I decelerate less than 18-20 mph.  It does not happen as often if I use the brakes to slow down.  Also if I come to a complete stop it does not happen and will only happen if the truck is already in motion above 10mph or so. 

 

I took it to the local GM dealer yesterday, and they said they were not familiar with the problem, but it is definitely not right.  The dealer talked with GM tech support, and GM said they have heard of the problem but did not have a solution.  GM said to take out the transmission and inspect for any visual issues.  If no visual issues could be found, then they would replace the transmission.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Any advice moving forward? 

 

Side note- This truck was one of the first sold in our area of the 2019 body styles.  I got it in august of 2018.  It had the leaking back window issue, and they replaced the window after a 2-3 month delay getting the part in and trying to fix it with sealant.  


Thank you in advance for your help.

Its hard for me to say honestly.  Probably early on but it was not very noticeable.  It has recently gotten much worse over the last 5K miles or so.  Dealership said yesterday they ordered a new transmission and should have it put in by middle to end of next week.  It seems to be working out well so far.

Just got the truck back with the new transmission and it is still making the noise.  Guess I will bring it back to them.  It almost sounds like the sound a driveshaft makes when it is first engaged.  Not sure if that makes any sense or not.  I will try to get a video of it.

Sounds more like a potential axle wrap problem the k series trucks had or the famous old slip yoke clunk. When GM states that loud bangs are normal from their drivetrains, sadly they are telling the truth.

 

My 95 s10 zr2 had driveline clunk noises, my 05 silverado had driveline clunk noises and you guessed it my 2014 is also no different. It will clunk on deceleration like you said and it will clunk when going off and back onto the gas. Was hoping the 10 speed might of solved their constant driveline slop issues, but looks like it is jut a characteristic of gm vehicles today, or at least their truck and large suv line as it has been prevlient for decades now with their product imo.

My truck seems good. No clunk on decel my 2015 6.2 had it only way I could get rid of it was to hp tune the truck which I understand isn’t a option for you probably with warranty but my 2020 6.2 seems way better then my 2015.

My trans. is much worse than the complaints I have to date. False neutrals under hard acceleration and a bang that should have blown it to pieces by now. Slow to engage drive and reverse when cold. Problem began while towing a 15k lb 5th wheel in tow mode punching it up an onramp. It's at a dealer now and got some TSB update. They said is was done but the  lot man parking it reported to the service writer "something is wrong   with the trans." sooo standing by for answers.

Sounds like they eliminated the transmission as a possible source of the noise.  If you have another dealership within reasonable driving distance (could be a Chevy dealer just as well), maybe take it to them and tell them what has been done so far, maybe they have someone on staff that has seen a similar problem before.  If they get it right away, maybe consider switching dealers for work going forward.

I too have a 2019 Denali with the 10 speed, I have notice a loud bang when I have limitted traction on we pavment when starting off. I feel the noise is coming from the rear end rather than the transmission. It only happens under rare conditions, so it would be Hoothoot⁵²⑩ difficult to replicate at the dealership.

Your situation is likely the G80 locking diff engaging.

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
