## NHTSA's summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that may have a bind or shudder on turns during tight parking lot maneuvers. If technician is working on a 2012 Lacrosse the Electronic Brake Control Module should be updated with the latest calibrations in Service Programming System. If the technician isolates the condition to be coming from the Rear Drive Module, then check the fluid level in the Rear Drive Module per Service Information. If fluid levels are incorrect then diagnose and repair as needed, review latest version of PI0703 if the differential clutch is overfull. If no fluid concerns are found change the differential clutch oil filter and oil. Technician should insure all oil and debris is removed from the differential.

This information was created to inform the technician that the 2\-3 upshift and the 3\-2 downshift clunk is caused by the releasing of the 2\-4 band and application of the 3\-4 clutch assembly during an upshift. Also during a 3\-2 downshift, the releasing of the 3\-4 clutch during the application of the 2\-4 band, can cause torque reversal down the output shaft creating a clunk. This is a normal condition.
