Gearbox help

Chevrolet Cruze 2012 Manual 59540 miles
I'm just wondering if you can help. I've had to take my Holden Cruze in as it wouldn't come out of first gear. They have told me it's going to cost $1100 as it's the cable that goes from the gearbox to the gears. My problem is also I don't understand why. It's under 60,000k. Has there been issues with the cruzes. Holdens trying to tell me I've done it.

Fight for them to pay to fix it. My gear box went, my mums Cruze gearbox went
My turbo went at 58000km and now has gone again at 86000.
But of course its my fault. Holden Cruze cars are crappy. I will never buy another Holden. By the way Holden paid for both gearboxes and one Turbo

Engine noise SolvedSolved

Chevrolet Cruze 2013  42200 miles
When driving and I suddenly stop accelerating, a "clack" noise starts to be heard coming from the engine. When braking, the noise disappears. I personally believe it has something to do with the gearbox or the clutch, as when I press it the noise does not go away. Hope someone can give me a hand. Thanks.

Shakes between 1500-2000RPM code 84

Chevrolet Cruze 2012 Hatchback  60000 miles
Hello

I bought a Holden cruze turbo diesel 2012 6 speed manual transmission (same engine as Chevrolet cruze).
My car shakes back and forth between 1500-2000RPM, sometimes late response or no power when I accelerate, or accelerates alone when I use the accelerator. Code 84, DPF, engine lights flashing

Have you ever encountered these problems?

Transmission shafts not turning

Chevrolet Cruze 2010 F18D4 120000 miles
Gearbox locked on 4th gear what could be the problem

If the gearbox is locked on 4th gear and the transmission shafts are not turning, there could be a problem with the transmission itself or with a component related to the transmission.
Here are a few things you can try:

Check the transmission fluid level. Low transmission fluid can cause the gears to become stuck or not engage properly.
Check the transmission filter. A clogged or dirty transmission filter can restrict the flow of transmission fluid and cause the gears to become stuck or not engage properly.
Check the transmission linkage. The linkage connects the transmission to the shifter and can become damaged or disconnected, causing the transmission to become stuck in a specific gear.
Check the transmission control module (TCM). The TCM is responsible for controlling the transmission and can malfunction, causing the transmission to become stuck in a specific gear.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking these components, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the vehicle is safe to drive.

Automatic transmission, stalls

Chevrolet Cruze 2012
I have a Chevrolet Cruze and I would like to share all its problems: the calipers are distorted which is a really dangerous problem if you do not notice it on time, the automatic transmission locks in 3rd or 5th gears and even the engine stalls when driving.

Steering problem

Chevrolet Cruze 2016 1.4L 100000 miles
I have a 2016 Chevrolet Cruze 1.4. The steering wheel has about 5–6 degrees of free play before the wheels respond. The steering feels loose, especially after driving over speed bumps or rough roads. The steering wheel moves left and right slightly without changing the vehicle's direction. The steering became stiffer after a repair, but the play is still there. The suspension components have been checked, and the ball joints are OK. The steering rack was repaired and a part inside the gearbox was replaced, but the problem still remains. What could be causing this?

Rough idle, sluggish acceleration.

Chevrolet Cruze 2016 hatchback, 1.4l petrol, z series, automatic 97350 miles
Rough idle at idle, but fine when driving; acceleration feels sluggish; suction when removing the dipstick; slight fuel smell. My theory is either PCV, spark plugs, or coil packs. I've ordered an OBD scanner, but want an opinion.
There's also no check engine light yet

Warning lights gear indicator

Chevrolet Cruze 2014 1.4l  160000 miles
These warning lights came on steering control, power steering, traction control stabilizer and the shifting indicator does not display. It will not shift gears once I start driving and when I do shift from gear to gear it jerks really hard. I notice the bushing on shift cable was broke. So we put a rubber bushing in to see if that would work. And it started working but once we put the rite bushing on it stopped working and now matter what we try it will not work. Disconnected the tcm and the ground tested hot. Look over the ground wire and it's not showing any damage to it. All fuses are good also.

Many things can cause this to happen. Start with the cheapest things first then work your way up to the more expensive things if problem is still there. Check your fuses and relays, see if they are blown, bleeding, etc. Then change spark plugs, make sure they are gapped properly. Change cabin filter, engine air filter, and oil (rule of thumb these should be changed every 3, 000 miles or every 3 months Whichever comes first, its usually 3, 000 miles that comes first for majority of people).

Vehicle maintenance soon

Chevrolet Cruze 2012 Hatchback  125000 miles
A yellow warning light has appeared on the dashboard of my car with a wrench. I'm trying to turn it off but to no avail. I've tried disconnecting the battery and pressing the accelerator pedal as shown in YouTube but to no avail. I'm running an OBD scan but no error code appears. I don't have an oil gauge when I open the menu on the turn signal knob.

Chevrolet Cruze 2011 Transmission 250000 miles
I changed the gear box on my cruze. Its an aromatic ever since when i start my car and drive it it runs normally but it changes gear on 2000 rpm early it used to change on 1500 rpm or under 2000 rpm and when my car runs up to temperature it suddenly starts to change gears roughly then drops gears on its own without any acceleration and after sometime it moves very slowly like 10 to 30 kmph even if a floor accelerate and lasty car stops in drive mode and won’t move for 10 to 15 mins any information?

Your transmission needs to be overhauled and cleaned thoroughly and clean input speed sensor and output speed sensor and inspect the friction disc of every gears. They might be worn out and change transmission fluid filter, clean valve body thoroughly. It will run properly and if still it takes high rpm, you need to reprogram your transmission (TCM)by an expert on computer

Unstable idle in Drive after engine swap F18D4 with LUW ECU mismatch i

Chevrolet Cruze 2014 1.8  90000 miles
I have a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze 1.8 (VIN: 1G1PA5SH9E7449244) with automatic transmission. The original engine was replaced with an F18D4 engine, but the ECU is still the original LUW type. Problem: The engine has unstable idle, especially in Drive (D) at low throttle. RPM fluctuates and there is slight vibration. Scanner readings: - Intake camshaft position: around 44° - Exhaust camshaft position: 0° at idle - When pressing accelerator slightly (about 10%), exhaust camshaft follows intake (around 45° intake / 48° exhaust) Tests performed: - Disconnecting intake VVT solenoid improves idle sig… Read complete

Automatic transmission failure

Chevrolet Cruze 2011  41000 miles
After driving 2000 miles on holidays, I felt a hit in the gearbox and inmediately the Checking indicator turned on. In the agency they told me that there were some computer codes that had not been erased on the last car maintainance. After that, a new failure appeared: the gearbox remained in its security position in 4th gear, no other could be put and the sequential transmission remained desactivated. I was then told that the automatic transmission's valves body needed to be replaced. Luckily, a mechanic told me it had to do with the oil never being changed by Chevrolet's agencies. He then changed the vehicle's oil and repaired the valves and now the gears are working perfectly. Hope it helps someone!
