Some customers may also comment on one or more of the following conditions: • Flare • Slide/bump • Slip • Harsh shift Cause This condition may be caused by debris in the upper and/or lower valve bodies or valve scratched or scored, causing them not to move properly. Note: Launch shudder concern may be induced/duplicated by power braking in first gear, but should only be attempted for 5 seconds or less to not cause any distress to the 1-2-3-4 clutch assembly. Validate that the concern is not an engine misfire or engine driveability concern. Confirm the shudder is not a torque converter clutch (TCC) shudder by monitoring TCC slip when TCC is engaged during the event. Note: TEHCM replacement has not been an effective repair for the above concern. Correction Copyright 2020 General Motors LLC. All Rights Reserved. • If the concern is not isolated to be an engine misfire, driveability concern or TCC shudder concern, DO NOT replace the TEHCM. • If the shudder can be induced during a power braking event in first gear as shown in the video, then both the lower and upper valve body assemblies should be replaced at the same time. Note: Inspect ISS and/or OSS for debris collecting as this would be a sign of an internal component failure. If no debris is seen on the sensors but valves and/or bores are scratched, check for final drive bearing failure.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition.
