Technical Notes:
Critical Installation Requirements:
-
Fluid Fill: Must follow temperature-based fill procedure (85°C–95°C) with engine running. Use a scan tool to monitor fluid temperature.
-
TCM Programming: Adaptation reset and calibration required after installation using GM GDS2 or compatible tools.
-
Cooler Flushing: Flush cooler and lines thoroughly to remove debris from the failed unit.
Common Issues & Maintenance:
-
Solenoid Failure: Shift solenoids may fail, causing harsh shifts or limp mode.
-
Torque Converter Shudder: Often caused by degraded fluid; regular changes are critical.
-
Fluid Changes: Regular Dexron VI fluid changes (every 60,000–100,000 km) recommended.
