What the manufacturer’s document says

01-07-30-042H ・ normal characteristic (no repair) ・ for GM vehicles in general

Applies to

  • Applies to 2014 and prior GM passenger cars and light duty trucks with the 4L60-E, 4L65-E or 4L70-E automatic transmission (RPOs M30, M32, M70).

    the passage
    2014 and Prior GM Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks Equipped with 4L60-E, 4L65-E or 4L70-E Automatic Transmission (RPOs M30, M32, M70)

Fault

  • A clunk noise can be heard on a 2-3 upshift or a 3-2 downshift.

    the passage
    Some vehicles may exhibit a clunk noise that can be heard on a 2-3 upshift or a 3-2 downshift.
  • The condition may be more pronounced on a 4-wheel drive vehicle because of the additional tolerances in the transfer case.

    the passage
    This condition may be more pronounced on a 4-wheel drive vehicle due to the additional tolerances in the transfer case.

Finding the cause

Possible causes

  • During a 2-3 upshift the 2-4 band is released and the 3-4 clutch is applied; the timing of this shift can momentarily reverse the torque on the output shaft, which makes the clunk.

    the passage
    During a 2-3 upshift, the 2-4 band is released and the 3-4 clutch is applied. The timing of this shift can cause a momentary torque reversal of the output shaft that results in a clunk noise.
  • The same torque reversal can occur on a 3-2 downshift, when the 3-4 clutch is released and the 2-4 band applied.

    the passage
    This same torque reversal can also occur on a 3-2 downshift when the 3-4 clutch is released and the 2-4 band applied.

Stated content

  1. Communication summary

    本情報は、2-3アップシフト時および3-2ダウンシフト時のクランク音が、アップシフト時の2-4バンドのリリースと3-4クラッチASSYの作用により発生すること、また3-2ダウンシフト時には3-4クラッチのリリースと2-4バンドの作用により、出力シャフトにトルク逆転が生じてクランク音が発生することをテクニシャンに通知するために作成されたものです。これは正常な状態です。 Machine translation (unreviewed)

    This information was created to inform the technician that the 2-3 upshift and the 3-2 downshift clunk is caused by the releasing of the 2-4 band and application of the 3-4 clutch assembly during an upshift. Also during a 3-2 downshift, the releasing of the 3-4 clutch during the application of the 2-4 band, can cause torque reversal down the output shaft creating a clunk. This is a normal condition.
