#37 of 40 Transmission Acting Up by gm_bigot Aug 25, 2009 (5:18 am)
The dreaded "chuggle at 40-45 MPH at light load" has finally manifested itself in my 2007 CTS with 23500 miles on it. Hopefully the software patch described in one of the TSMs will fix the problem. If not, looks like a new torque converter for me. Going into the shop on Thursday (8/27). Disappointing. Anyone know why GM decided to put a French transmission in these vehicles from 2002 thru 2007?

Replying to: gm_bigot (Aug 25, 2009 5:18 am) Just got the bad news. They are replacing the torque converter. The mechanic at the dealership applied the software patch from the TSM, but the car was still not running correctly. He's done converters for the earlier models, but thought they had the issue straightened out by the 2007 model year. Apparently not.

Replying to: gm_bigot (Aug 27, 2009 5:45 am) Was your converter replaced under warranty ?   If not, how much did you have to pay ? Replies to this message: gm_bigot (Sep 21, 2009 5:34 am)

Replying to: alexsan (Sep 19, 2009 6:26 pm) It was replaced under warranty (24K miles). They have to drop the transmission to replace the torque converter. I believe it's a $3K job. If you are experiencing problems, the first step would be to take it in and have them flash the transmission control module with the new software. If that doesn't fix it, you are looking at a new torque converter. If it is out of warranty, I would negotiate the price. This problem is not that uncommon.
