Expert Insight: The Ghost in the Machine
As a technician, I’ve seen countless GMT360 platform vehicles (like the Trailblazer, Envoy, and this 9-7X) with baffling transmission issues. Owners would complain of hard shifts or getting stuck in a gear, and often assume the transmission itself was failing, facing a multi-thousand dollar repair bill. In many cases, the root cause was actually a failing PCM sending incorrect signals. Before you condemn your transmission, consider the PCM. This professionally programmed 2006 Saab 9-7X PCM can often be the simple, cost-effective fix that solves those ‘ghost’ issues and restores perfect shifting harmony.
