2020 Chevrolet Colorado 4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed
308-horsepower 3.6L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
| 14570 mi | The vehicle had an occasional shudder similar to a wake-up/rumble strip on a rural road or a tight washboard kind of vibration. Mild, but noticeable and would come/go at light throttle. There is a TSB for this through end of model year 2020 on the 8speed transmission vehicles. Overuse of assembly lubricant at the factory causes a trans fluid viscosity change that impacts the torque convertor at lock-up. TSB solution was complete trans flush 3 times in a row and drive for 320km. Warranty work. Noticeable difference, so far so good. |
