- 2006 VE Calais 6.0L
Hey guys, just purchased a 2006 v8 VE Calais off someone privately a few weeks ago and since purchase have had it checked and have been listed many different issues with the car, some which I have been slowly knocking off the list. One issue I am unsure about and have been researching about has been the vehicle jolting when accelerating maybe 40% throttle between first second and third gears. The car is a auto and I noticed that when I put the vehicle into sports shift and change gears myself, it won’t have this issue. Vehicle seems to hesitate and then jolt aggressively and it’s very unpleasant to drive, seems to happen whether car is warmed up or not.
I have had a transmission service done along with a regular 140k service done within the last week but nobody is able to tell me what the issue is. Research is telling me that this is a common issue with the 6L80E trans but i’m struggling to find any fix or resolutions for it. Don’t really want to need to fork out big money for a transmission replacement. Any advice?
