I have an '09 Yukon Denali - Early in shifts the tranny feels weak like it's slipping. Only under light accel... When I'm ******* it it's fine. It also flairs once in a while from 1-2nd.

Any one else have this issue?

A Denali that new shouldn't slip ... I'm thinking you're experiencing the infamous 'rev spike' that these transmissions are know for. :think:

Same here, Gary. Whatever it may be, it's annoying, at best. I have never liked this 6 speed tranny -- and our '09s were the first to get it, so who knows if the bugs were worked out yet.

If I had an 09 with the 6 speed tranny I know it would annoy the heck out of me. I like having smooth shifts I really like the shifting of the 4 speed tranny's. When they came out with the 6 speed I though they would be much better than the 4. Until driving a buddies 10' denali it felt like it misfired every single shift.
