2009 Acadia

[036.6turbo]

Well, my daughters car is acting up again. (we just did timing chains on it a couple months ago.)

2009 Acadia 3.6 VVT motor AWD with 180,000 miles on it.

Now she is complaining of a low speed stutter or hesitation. It almost sounds like the transmission is slipping. It will be next week before I get it on my possession.

Just wondering if anyone knows what year transmissions will interchange? Hers is a 09, there is a low mile 16 near me for parts. Just not real confident that trans will work in her 09?

According to my info, '06-'16 are the same. Check electrical and sensor connections.

Thanks Mike.

My googling is turning up some drama about a 3-5-R wave plate being a common failure. With hers having that many miles on it, if I can find a low mile replacement, I may just swap it out.

More than likely is TC shutter I had a Buick Enclave with same issues around same mileage,

I drove it a fair amount yesterday and cannot duplicate what she is describing.

ATF looks okay? Definitely not burnt.

But at 182,000 miles, it wouldn't surprise me if it ends up being transmission related.

When the wave plate brakes it will flare shift. I just repaired this on my wife's Acadia.
