I have 2012 burb with the sally 3.08 rear ended in it. I feel like it is shifting all the time and im worried in the long run that this will effect the tranny.

Also when coming to a stop, you can feel the tranny downshift with a slight clunk. Doesnt do it all the time, but enough to make me think if that is normal or not.

Just feel these 6spd trannys are going to cause issues in the future. Any input would be great!

grebesbakery,

I have researched your vehicle and there are currently no known transmission issues with 2012 Suburban vehicles.

If you continue to experience this issue, I recommend contacting a certified technician for a vehicle inspection.

Please keep us posted. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me.

The 6-speed and all of its torque/fuel management BS blows. There's nothing "abnormal" about what you're experiencing -- it's just that it blows.

Help a little? Yes. Cure the issues? No.

Go BlackBear for a custom tune. I wouldn't bother with any "chips" or such.
