    Hello, First of all, I apologize if I posted in a wrong section, please let me know the appropriate location for this material. I have 2015 Chevy Cruze LT, and owned for little over an year. My mom drove for about year, and then I just recently started to use it. While driving this car, I...
  2. Gen1 Diesel General Discussion
    So I really like using the manual mode when coming down a steep hill in my CTD to control the speed. It's not really necessary, I just enjoy doing so. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is hard on the engine or transmission to be downshifting to slow down coming downhill. If it is, I'd stop...
  3. Gen1 Powertrain
    So I did some searching for my specific issue with no luck. I have a 2012 Cruze 1lt manual. I am covered under warranty yet. ~57000 miles. This just started last night. I'm noticing a whine/slight grind in the transmission during downshifting into 2nd from 3rd. The noise goes away when the...

    Quick question: After adjusting my spark plug gap approx 200 miles ago, I've notice a pretty harsh downshift going from 29-28 MPH in the automatic transmission (I'm guessing from 4th to 3rd gear, but don't know for sure). It shifts up smoothly, but the downshift at that single point is harsh...
  7. Gen1 Powertrain
    Hey everyone. Let's say I'm driving in 3rd gear and I'm coming to a full stop, is it a good idea to downshift to 2nd and then 1st? Or is it better to leave it in 3rd and let the car downshift on its own? Im asking this because i drive often using tiptronic and I don't want to wear out the...
