Transmission hard shift

Took an 860 mile round trip this past weekend. After about 4 hours of seven hours driving, started hard shift. Stop and go traffic made it worse. Got to our destination hotel and rested about an hour before going to see family. Fifteen minute drive, traffic lights and hard shift. Weather was cold. Next morning, got on the road to visit family, standard cold weather noise from the rear end, grinding, popping. And guess what, hard shift. Return trip, much the same. Did I mention the rumble at 40-45?

A few days prior to this trip, I was in a parking lot, I backed up a few feet, put the truck in drive, it hesitated and shift was so hard, I thought someone hit me. I've about had it. About eight months ago, the dealer changed the trans fluid. Even though it had the correct fluid. So I'm going to take it back. If they don't make it right, I may have to look into something else. 

Yeah, I know I've posted on this before. And there is a class action lawsuit. But dammit, something has to be done.

Starting to notice a strange "rumble" at city speeds, kind of like a vibration and it goes away when letting off the gas and coasting. Harder shifting too at 28K miles. 2019 GMC SLT. My Neighbors 2019 Denali spent 3 months at the dealer for a new transmission under warranty. He traded it the day it came out of the shop. Both 8 speeds. Just got the truck paid off, hate to have to trade.

You should take TSB 19-NA-121 to the dealer and have them do the ATF exchange if you haven’t already.

Dealer did the TSB ATF change, no charge. Paperwork showed this to be a $371 fluid change to the Mobil fluid. 

Not enough miles yet to really tell but knowing it's done is priceless, lol.

700 miles since the TSB Mobil trans service. Still have the slight vibration feeling around 40-60mph but the jerky shifting has diminished greatly.

Not really related but I didn't want to start a new post. I just changed fluid and filter on my 2019 10-speed at 85k miles and it seems so much smoother.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By KARNUT · Posted

      If it has a stick I can have fun with it. When my wife first got her Acura years ago I used to tease her about it. I was only interested in muscle cars. They’re gone now. So once a month I drive the Acura. Every once in a while I’ll take it to Redline. But just normal driving on some twisty back roads usually does the trick.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
