My 2013 CTS
 

I just bought a 2013 CTS 3.6L and I really love the car, however, I'm not sure what to make of the 6 speed tranny. It seems that it is always in a higher gear ( I'm sure for mileage), but when giving a little throttle ( like in traffic), it shudders - just like a manual shift, if you are starting from a rolling start in 4th or 5th gear.
Is this normal - it seems like a problem, but I have never had a 6 speed and maybe this is normal.

any thoughts....?

jhward,

I'm sorry to hear about your transmission concerns. I understand how displeasing this would be and realize you're seeking opinions about it. However, if you'd like to consider getting an official GM diagnosis, please message me privately as I can reach out to the dealer's Customer Experience Managers (CEM) for additional assistance. If you'd like to contact us privately, we'd be happy to discuss this with you further.

Sincerely,
