Transmission experts step in! Hey guys, I have a question regarding the transmission on my 06 Impala SS. It has the 4T65 tranny, and has already been in the shop twice for transmission problems. Currently, only while accelerating hard, the car shudders quite a bit shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. The first time I had this problem the dealer discovered a broken band in my transmission, so they replaced that and it didn't help. The second time I brought it in they replaced the 2nd gear clutch assembly , which helped out some, but it still has that shudder going into 2nd gear under hard throttle. I'm all out of ideas as to what could be wrong with it now, I'm thinking either the valve body or maybe the accumulator. Please chime in if you have any ideas. The car has 16k miles on it btw.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I would say take it back and ask them if they will just replace the trans

So I went to the dealer today, went for a ride with their tranny guy, and he told me that what I was feeling was normal, and I shouldn't be concerned. I know this can't be true, we have an 08 Impala SS at work with 5k miles and it shifts mint. Not really sure what I should do now.

I would get an independant opinion/ diagnoses if possible and then present that to the dealer. If the local dealer isn't willing to review their decision ask them to bring in their area warranty claims rep/ manager. That usually gets them moving.
