Jerky Transmission

2009 SS with 5 speed. 20K miles.
Transmission makes a clunk noise and causes the car to buck when I let off of the gas. It is worse going downhill.
And when I accelerate from a no throttle, it will jerk.
Never had this problem with other cars.
Dealer said it was normal, but I have a hard time believing that.
They already had to replace the engine and dont want to admit there is another problem.
How do others transmissions act?

Other transmissions do NOT act like that !!

You need a new dealer AND call Chev. Customer Service and complain.

Why is this front page news???

Dear johnsHHRss,

I would have to agree with Snoopy; get the vehicle into a new Chevrolet dealership for a second opinion about this. If you would like assistance in doing this please, let me know.

Michelle, Chevrolet Customer Service
