This was an awesome fix. Part cost $10!! There is an upgraded wave plate kit on ebay for about $70 USD. (6T70 6T75 Sonnax 3-5-R Drum Saver Kit) I would use this doing my next repair.
My trany seems to not know what gear it should be in or I'm putting the peddle on the floor and it woñt rev

Can you confirm same part for 2008 Enclave?
@@saintmatthew8948 work for 2008 enclave?
Just put a new engine in mine. The new valve cover gasket was modified from original, and may prevent the engine issue.140k miles when mine went. Personally know 5 people who had the same issue. You nailed it, known timing chain issues.
I have a 2012 Buick Enclave thats going in next week for transmission overhaul. GM should have a recall on all years of the Enclaves trannys! Great video !
Good job! By the way the timing chains aren't the problem. These 3.6 engines suck oil off through the vent in the vavle case (I think that'swhat it'scalled). GM came out with a new type of gasket which helps correct this problem. If there isn't enough oil in the engine then the chains get very hot and stretch. With proper maintenance of an oil change every 3500 miles the chains will last. We have two 2017 Enclave premiums. We absolutely love them!
Yes, when my engine was replaced late year the mechanic noticed the new valve cover gasket was different, which was the improvement 👍
Thank You Sir... just so you know... ...you have helped me a lot... :)
Hey Thank you! I'm glad to be of service. Have an awesome day!!
@@grampzquad :)
GM covered this repair by an extension of the powertrain warranty. Supprised the previous owner didn't take advantage of it, maybe theirs failed after the extension? Also, make sure you pull the pressure switches that are the first plate under the plastic side cover you removed. They need to be rebuilt. There is a dorman kit for like $40 for this.
Good morning sir. I congratulate him for explaining his work on this great vehicle. I have one just like yours, it is lacquered in two parts of the transmission, on the part of the transmission next to the engine and on the back. I would like to know if he can help me with the diagnosis and do it myself, thank you very much.Good morning sir. I congratulate him for explaining his work on this great vehicle.

How did you get the sheet metal out that's directly in front of the transmission case? One shot it's there the next it's off. Looks on mine like it's welded on.
in a 2017 Encore, can you do this method to replace the clutches is that all the clutches ? my transmission looks pretty much the same
Didn't see the part # for the new wave plate. Can you post it?
Wow he smart
I have a 2011 Buick Enclave I got a tapping noise it sounds like it’s coming from the transmission. I got under there and it’s coming from the transmission side. What do that sound like.
Is it hard to find a place to do this kind of work I live in hamilton Ontario Canada .and if my transmission shutter is the same problem thank you harvey bender is this. A very costly problem to repair
I wish you had video this step by step im a broke female. Pretty sure this is whats wrong with my enclave and I can't afford to take it to the shop
I would like to know where the Buick enclave 😊2008 range power switch is please.
2017 Enclave..will not reverse. When in drives runs well..no hold up with tranny..just won't reverse. Help
Good evening
try to start my 2009 buick enclave but engine huming but not start
Great video. My 2012 GMC Acadia slt drives good but if I'm on the highway after about 30min the transmission fluid gets super hot and it doesn't shift very good after that. Do you think it's the solenoids that shift the gears itself that's causing this hard sluggish shifting and the hot trans fluid
This is what mines doing did you find out
Could you have replaced the wave plates w/o removing the wheel and strut? Just removed the cover plate andcslid the plates forward?.
Thanks
I don't think so. I took as many shortcuts as I could. By the book method is to drop the whole subframe.
Hello, I came upon this video when search for transmission issues on my 2014 Cadillac SRX. It appears to possibly be the same transmission? My question is, is it possible to replace the clutches through that endplate? I guess kind of like an "in car" limited rebuild? Mine slips a bit in 6th gear and otherwise works pretty good. So what all is accessible through this side cover? Also, I'm not real clear on how you dealt with that speed sensor, I see you pulled the front cover as well but it wasn't real evident in the video of what you had to do there. It sure would be great if I could just access the clutches from this side plate opening and be back in business. My car has 288K MILES on it but otherwise runs and drives well.
Hey Jordan. I'm not a transmission expert but I believe all the clutch plates come out the end. I just carefully took them all out to replace the broken wave plate. The front cover needs to come off and the speed sensor wire is attached near the top. It has to be removed to pull the end plate off. Good luck. I hope this answered your questions.
I have a 2008 Enclave. It has 240,000kms on it. I’m pretty sure the previous owner did the trans and wave plate. I find when I’m doing 80km/h and I try to speed up a tad. It won’t gear down to 5th it goes to 4 or 3. Almost like it struggles and doesn’t want to leave 6th
The pressure switches need to be changed/rebuilt. Fairly easy job and needs a rebuild dorman kit for $40 ish. dealer will charge you $1500 to do this.
@@kartboarder22g17 do you have more on these switches and the rebuild kit you are referencing? I think I have the same trans in my 2014 Cadillac SRX and I guess it may be worth checking into.
Do you have a V6? First thing is to figure out what transmission is in there The v6s use the 6t70 or the 6t75 in the case of this Buick those seem to be the troublesome transmissions with the wave plate plus they seem to degrade from my point of view due to temperature as there were about four of the switches in the transmission but I believe only one or two were blown through and then another one was partially blown through and another one was completely fine. Now it might have been that they rebuilt one of them when they rebuilt the transmission but my guess is I doubt that. So it seems like some of them are getting hit with high temperature pressure and that's what's causing them to fail as I doubt that it's a fluid caused issue. I tried to paste the link but UA-cam is not letting me pry cuz the link is too long but basically just Goole: 124740-TL30 - 6L45/6L50/6L80/6L90 And 6T70 (Gen.1), 6T75 (Gen.1) Transmission Sonnax Pressure Switch Installation Tool Kit
@@kartboarder22g17 mine is the 3.6 liter V6 AWD
@@jsflagstad that should have the 6t70 in it. It's not too hard to do it yourself. Just the space is tight. Shifting vastly improves delay shift in reverse will likely remain.
Are there multiple wave plates, and are they all the same? If so, would it be wise to replace all of them at the same time?
Yes there are other wave plates. While you have the case open you could replace them all. The weak spot, though, is the 3-5-Reverse plate. It is most prone to wear and break.
same problem here...wave plate is damaged, and there is no reverse to our buick enclave... after you changed the wave plate, no problem after that?.
Works great!
I have a problem with my vehicle it makes a grinding noise reverse doesn't work and when it hits 2nd gear sounds rough anybody had deal with anything similar
Yes same with my 13 Buick Enclave
Hi Mr. Mechanic, do you know anything about the 2011 Buick Enclave CLX?
Could you or anyone tell me.... would it be possible to completely remove the transmission using this same technique?
I don't think so James. I'm pretty sure you have to drop the subframe. It was a tight one just getting the end cap off.
@@grampzquad So in theory, follow your steps, but then drop the sub frame. Then remove transmission?
Part numbers Please and thank you 🙏🏼

Where is the plug where I can plug my car into the garage ?
Do you mean the block heater cord? Depending on your climate, not all cars have them.
What year are the those problems
ALL 6T70 & 6T75 transmissions will suffer from this failure eventually...even the 2010+ w/ the updated wave plates still fail eventually...you HAVE to replace 'em with a Sonnax drum-saver kit if you really don't want any comebacks 🤷
How long did the repair take you?
I think it was only about 10 hours total. I'd never done a transmission before so I took my time, especially with the tranny plates.
Thanks
I had same problem.. I loss $ 4k.
1/2 tank of gas has to be 45 dollars
Are these vehicles reliable?
I'd say they are pretty nice reliable vehicles. They do have a couple weak spots. One is the transmission (this video covers). The other would be the timing chain. If you change the oil on time and keep it clean they will last longer. Dirty oil wears the timing chain linkages and essentially "stretches" the chains. I have a video on installing new chains on a Cadillac SRX (pretty much the same engine) here: ua-cam.com/video/MTqds7Zrpg4/v-deo.html
Who is "we"?
My 2009 Enclave stutters.
My Acadia does the same thing. Could it b the solenoids that shift the gears??
You never said how much you sold it for...lol
That would be telling! LOL!
You should have replace the 3-5 waveplate as well .
3-5-R waveplate is what he replaced
Should have used green trans gel not wheel bearing grease. Very bad idea….
When your video description is how to fix the problem we honestly do not want a tour of the entire vehicle. We have come to watch how to fix the problem.
You have a fast forward button on your computer?
@@grampzquad I like you you spicy 🤣 thank you for the informative video I was just about to start mourning my enclave
I came here just for the tour of the interior Daniel.
🤣
Me too chris😂
One of the worst gm units
It pisses me off to no end that finally a lawsuit was filed against GM for this piece of shit transmission. Yeah 2019 to 2015. Unfortunately i have a 2013 enclave so fuck me right. This transmission has been a problem since day one with all models that have it, just wish the lawsuit covered my year. Other than that i love my enclave.
