2006 Impala SS 3rd and 4th gear slipping
I have a 2006 Impala SS. In 4th gear especially and some in 3rd gear I am getting a shudder/slip feeling. Definitely at 70-80 mph. Could that be the shift solenoid? I changed the other solenoids last year, but not 3-4. What about the torque converter not locking up since this isn't while shifting.

Hi RichC, sorry I can't offer help but was wondering if you replaced the solenoids yourself. I just did the Trans Go kit which helped a lot but I may have to do solenoids at some point. Do you have a lot of experience and was it very difficult? I've got a 2003 so should be somewhat similar. Thanks.

Ok, thanks. I watched the video by mph. Probably most concerned with disconnecting the steering. Looks tight in there. I suppose I should disconnect the rack instead. I've got 280K on this transmission so can't be sure if new solenoids will help. Good luck with yours.
