How to Fix Slight Shaking When Accelerating Your Cadillac CT6
Introduction
If you own a Cadillac CT6 from 2017 to 2019 models, you may have noticed a slight jerk when you accelerate. This shaking can be annoying and affect your driving experience. Fortunately, there is a simple solution to fix this problem. In this article, we'll tell you how to maintain your transmission to eliminate this shaking.
Maintenance Procedures
Step 1: Lifting the vehicle
Before you begin, be sure to lift your vehicle using proper equipment. This will allow easy access to the bottom of the car to perform maintenance steps.
Step 2: Change the Transmission Oil
To begin, remove the transmission oil pan and drain the used oil. You can refer to the service manual for the detailed procedure to follow.
Noticed: If you notice that the oil is viscous or milky, this may indicate a mixture of transmission oil and coolant. In this case, do not proceed to the next step. Instead, consult the service manual to perform a cooling system leak test and check if the transmission fluid is mixed with the engine coolant.
After the oil change is complete, replace the transmission oil pan following the instructions in the service manual.
Step 4: Filling the Transmission Oil
Fill the transmission oil pan with 8 quarts of new oil. You can refer to the service manual for the exact filling procedure.
Attention: Before removing the transmission fill pipe, carefully clean the pipe cap and surrounding area to prevent intrusion of dust or dirt during disassembly. Use compressed air to blow away any dust that has accumulated on or around the pipe. Before removing the pipe clog, use a mirror to check that the area is free of dust. Failure to follow these cleaning steps may result in transmission contamination.
Step 5: Lowering the vehicle
Lower the vehicle, start the engine and shift the transmission through the 8 forward, reverse and neutral gears in succession to ensure it is operating properly.
Step 6: Repeat steps 1 to 4
Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times to complete two more oil changes and refills. This will ensure that your transmission is fully maintained.
Step 7: Checking the Transmission Oil Level
Finally, perform an inspection of the transmission oil level and condition following the instructions in the service manual.
Conclusion
By following these maintenance steps, you will be able to resolve the problem of slight shaking when accelerating your Cadillac CT6. Be sure to follow procedures precisely and maintain your transmission regularly to ensure optimal performance of your vehicle.

My name is Sofiane, I was born in Lyon in 1996. I grew up in a modest family and I have always been fascinated by cars since I was very young.
After my high school studies, I decided to specialize in the automotive field. So I went to study automotive engineering in Grenoble where I obtained a master's degree in mechanical engineering for passenger vehicles.
Passionate about OBD (On-Board Diagnostic) technology, which allows drivers to diagnose their car themselves using the elaborate system embedded in their vehicles connected via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi or USB with a compatible personal computer such as Windows PC/ Linux/MacOsX such as ELM327 WiFi), I started my professional career as a technical writer after having completed several practical internships with different Lyon automobile garages in order to deepen my technical knowledge for this sector and acquire sufficient practical experience necessary that could be useful when products software achievements.
Over the years, I had developed some additional passions in particular: travel, computing (IOT & IP Networks) and Jazz music. It is thus that thanks to these additional skills enriched during all his extra-professional adventures that he was able to establish a bridge between his professional and private life offering him more equally interesting and diversified professional opportunities
I like working on complex projects linked to this fairly cutting-edge technology (preventive maintenance, advanced engine error diagnostics) because it allows me to take on stimulating technical challenges which constantly improve my skills and my expertise in this sector.
As a technical editor for Bosch France, I often had the opportunity to participate in seminars organized by their partners, suppliers or internal distributors. Thus during a professional trip to China to attend a conference on new trends in the Chinese automotive market ( 2020)

Après mes études secondaires, j'ai décidé de me spécialiser dans le domaine de l'automobile. Je suis donc allé poursuivre des études d'ingénieur automobile à Grenoble où j’ai obtenu un master en ingénierie mécanique pour véhicules particuliers. Passionné par la technologie OBD (On-Board Diagnostic), qui permet aux conducteurs de diagnostiquer eux-mêmes leur voiture grâce au système élaborée embarquées sur leurs véhicules connectés via Bluetooth/ Wi-Fi ou USB avec un ordinateur personnel compatible du type PC Windows/Linux/MacOsX tels que ELM327 WiFi) ,j’ai commencé ma carrière professionnelle comme rédacteur technique après avoir effectué plusieurs stages pratiques auprès différents garages automobiles lyonnais afin approfondir mes connaissances techniques pour ce secteur et acquérir suffisamment d’expérience pratique nécessaire pouvant être utile lors produits réalisations logicielles . Au fil des années, j’avais développe quelques passions annexes notamment :le voyage,l’informatique(IOT & Réseaux IP )et la musique Jazz .C’est ainsi que grace a ces compétences additionnelles enrichies durant toutes ses aventures extra-professionnels qu’il avait pu établirl’un pont entre sa vie proffesionelle et privée lui offrant davantage opportunités professionnelles tout aussi intéressantes diversifiées J'aime travailler sur des projets complexes liësà cette technologie assez pointue(maintenance préventive,diagnostics avances d’erreurs moteur)car cela me permet de relever des défis techniques stimulants qui améliorent constamment mes compétences et mon expertise dans ce secteur. En tant que rédacteur technique pour Bosch France,j'avais souvent l'occasion participer àdes séminaires organisés par leurs partenaires,fournisseurs ou distributeurs internes.Ainsi lors un voyage professionnel en Chine afin assister a une conférence sur les nouvelles tendances du marché automobile chinois(2020)
