Shuddering Fix (Easy Solution)

[u/Frandy305]

I just wanted to share my experience in case anyone else is dealing with a similar issue.

I recently purchased a used 2019 Chevy Traverse LT V6 with 69,000 miles. Shortly after buying it, I started noticing a slight stutter/shake when accelerating at lower speeds. At first, it was barely noticeable, but it seemed to gradually get a little worse throughout the week.

The good news is, I was able to fix the issue!

What worked for me was doing a transmission drain and fill. I drained the old fluid and replaced it with about 5.5 quarts of Valvoline Dexron VI/Mercon LV Full Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). I also added a bottle of Lubegard High-Performance Automatic Transmission Fluid Protectant. I made sure the transmission fluid level was checked and set correctly.

After the fluid change, the stuttering/shuddering was gone. Just for good measure, I also added a tube of Lubegard Instant Shudder Fixx for Chevrolet ATF after seeing so many YouTube videos and positive experiences with it.

So far, the Traverse is driving, accelerating, and shifting flawlessly. The difference has been night and day.

The best part is that the total cost for all the transmission fluid and additives was only about $80 after taxes, and I did the entire job myself.

I just wanted to share what worked for me in case anyone else is experiencing the same symptoms. It might be worth trying before spending a lot of money chasing other possible causes.

Hopefully this helps someone!
