Default Hmmm...

Nice thought but - mine is not an AWD...

I was told to try changing the transmission oil & filter...

It’s a bitch to get to the full plug out it’s the same type but I needed to buy a belt tensioner to get it out. Not much room. Drain the old oil as the GM approved fluid I also added a Amsoil friction additive and it fixed the problem completely. I couldn’t believe the difference. Good luck and do this before paying anyone to do anything. It’s worth the effort and cheap just to make sure it’s not the same problem.
