I have a 2008 tribeca with about 3700 miles and it also suffers from a rough upshift, (2nd-3rd) at around 2500 rpm. I first thought it was contributed to a after-market trans cooler (the dealer said have it removed because it is not needed). Now that I see others are having the same or similar issues perhaps it is a design flaw. I am going to have the cooler removed but doubt if that solves the issue. I will keep you posted. |

Replying to: jimsimp3 (Dec 29, 2008 11:41 pm) They are putting a new tourque converter into mine....doubt that this will affect any of the rough shifts, though. Seems that from all the complaints I see, that there is a design fault with this transmission. I would be very surprised if removing the transmission cooler will improve the rough shift.....? Good luck. Have you noted any knocking from the front suspension? I have from day one. Also note that the steering stops cause a knock at full turn when turning full lock when doing slow maneuvers as with parking, etc.

Replying to: sept2martin (Jan 04, 2009 10:42 am) Surprisingly the transmission now shifts very smoothly and the engine revs at a lower RPM during normal driving. I did not mention that my gas mileage has been terrible since the cooler was installed. The engine seemed to rev at 2500-3000 RPM at normal speed. It now is around 2000 RPM.

Replying to: sept2martin (Dec 02, 2008 7:40 pm) They are taking the car back again for more testing. I have had this problem since day one and now have 16,000 km on it. Hope the problem is found.

Replying to: ccolt1 (Jan 04, 2009 9:12 am) I also described the feeling I got when I goosed it at a stop light. Most cars creep when you ease off the brake. The Tribeca wasn't doing this. Instead, it grabbed/slammed into first when I put down the pedal. That now seems to have gone away. I'll report back in a couple of weeks and let you know if this repair holds up. This forum helped me describe my problem to the service guys. Nice job!
