Mine 2002 Denali... It shifts great to all the gears but if you really floor it and it goes down like 2 years it just feels like it's slipping and it makes a clicking noise. Is that the 3.4 clutch or is that my torque converter so I just drive it slow for now... Runs great engine wise... Could be a lifter but I doubt it. It just feels like transmission

Not sure if you were able to fix it or not, but I’m having the same issue (03 Denali). Shifts ok when driving normal, but even slightly “getting on it”, it takes a second for the trans to catch up and shift. Minor “thud” when coming to a complete stop. I recently had a shudder at 45 mph, but it went away. Just going to drain the fluid, change the filter, and see what happens.
I have a GMC yukon 2011, I can't find out the problem that why the transmission is heating up even though my transmission has been overhauled, but it's still heating up. any suggestions?

It's hard to say without getting more info from you, and inspecting the vehicle. Just shooting from the hip, it has me thinking... 1). Torque converter: The torque converter is the greatest source of heat inside the transmission. If, for some reason, the TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) is not applying (or turning ON), the converter will generate extra heat. 2). TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) slipping, or slipping excessively (some models are supposed to slip, some are not). Slippage (or more slippage than originally intended) generates a lot of extra heat. 3). Restricted transmission cooler. 4). Engine overheating. The engine and the trans share a cooling system...so, if the engine is overheating, the trans will overheat, too. 5). Manifold Pressure Switch: It's equipped with a temp sensor. It could be faulty. 6). Etc. For faster response times, leave a comment on my main channel... Southpaw Autoworks: kzread.infofeatured
Mine is getting stuck on 3rd gear too
I'm trying to pass emissions and at the same time while I was doing a tune up the transmission decides to act up I replaced a and b solenoids, tool scanner said solenoid a is stuck in off mode I lost reverse 2and and 4th on a 99 chevy Tahoe I think it's the sun gear and sun shell if so I dont know what to do because I do not have the funds to fix it think I would be ok going to junk yard and trying to find one and swap it out or what would you recommend and I also think it's making my emmisions fail because the guys dont know how to let it up shift to 3rd gear I explain it to them let off throttle at 25 mph for a second while it upshifts then press throttle again but these guys ate doing 35 40 in first gear and then letting off throttle to upshift dont know if that has an effect but it keeps failing emmisions now never had that problem before just did a tune up

It won't drive faster than 5 MPH? For faster response times, leave a comment on my main channel... Southpaw Autoworks: kzread.infofeatured
Hey man just had my transmission rebuilt and it has a shutter at 45mph is there any solution to fixing this without pulling out the transmission?

That's a bummer. The GMC Terrain is equipped with a different transmission (6T45 or 6T70, depending on engine size). For faster response times, leave a comment on my main channel... Southpaw Autoworks: kzread.infofeatured
