Restore Flawless Shifting in Your Pontiac G6
Is your 2006-2010 Pontiac G6 suffering from erratic shifting, getting stuck in gear, or displaying a check engine light with transmission codes? These are classic signs of a failing Transmission Control Module (TCM). The TCM is the electronic brain of your automatic transmission, responsible for orchestrating every gear change and ensuring smooth, efficient operation. When it fails, it can lead to frustrating and potentially damaging driving conditions. This genuine quality GM T42 TCM, part number 24239224, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and peace of mind.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Pontiac G6 come into the shop with the classic ‘stuck in 3rd gear’ complaint and a P0700 code. The owner had already spent money replacing a couple of shift solenoids with no success. After a quick scan and data stream analysis, we saw erratic commands coming from the TCM. The internal circuitry had failed, a common issue in these T42 modules. Instead of chasing ghosts, we installed a VIN-programmed module just like this one. The car was shifting perfectly within 30 minutes of its arrival. It’s a reminder that sometimes the controller, not the component, is the root of the problem.
Why Choose Our VIN-Programmed 2006-2010 G6 Transmission Module?
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the hassle and expense out of the repair by pre-programming the module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This critical step ensures that the TCM has the latest GM software and is perfectly calibrated for your G6’s engine, transmission, and tire size. You can skip the costly trip to the dealership for programming—this module is truly plug-and-play.
