POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD THERE IS A HARD CLUNKING, ALSO WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS FROM 3RD TO 2ND. I HAVE HAD THIS 2006 GMC FOR ONLY 10 MONTHS AND I PURCHASED IT NEW. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL NOISE FOR A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. I HAVE HAD MANY 4X4 GMS IN THE PAST AND NOT ONE OF THEM HAS HAD THIS KIND OF A SHIFTING PROBLEM. I HAVE PURCHASED THREE NEW GM'S IN THE LAST 4 YEARS AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ALL OF THEM, I THINK I'M GOING TO TRADE IT IN FOR A TOYOTA. *JB
