Consumer Description

MY GMC CANYON HAS ONLY 35,000 MILES. IT STARTED SHAKING, SHUDDERING FREQUENTLY, AND HAVING HARD SHIFT WHEN CHANGING GEARS, SPECIALLY WHEN SPEEDING DOWN. IT FEELS SIMILAR TO DRIVE OVER THE STREET LINES WITH A SIMILAR SOUND. THERE IS A STRONG SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN FAST SHIFTING HAPPENED FROM HIGH TO LOW OR WHEN STOP AT THE STOP LIGHT. IT IS LIKE THE ENGINE WANTS TO LEAVE FROM THE BODY OF THE TRUCK. THIS VIBRATION IS ALSO FELT WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED OR LOW GEAR AND THE TRUCK IS DEMANDING MORE POWER, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT CONTROL THAT DEMAND. IT IS LIKE NOT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE.
