No, it is auto and manual.

Nope. Like 1BADSS said, it's all of them. Even the V6 cars.

Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and "WALLAAA" Noise gone. Hard to believe that nasty sounding noise is cured by a chinsy 3 cent (3 dollars from GM) washer. This really should have been a recall. I can't believe they just left them out and then just said "Shhhhhh don't tell anyone unless they ask. I was looking up the torque specs in my set of GM Service Manuals and it even states that If the washers are not present to add them. Thanks for the video documentation PQ! I'm positive you saved me from some broken speed sensors. I would have trashed the first one for sure.
Sooo good to have that problem behind me. Ready to enjoy the car some this weekend.Thanks again PQ!

Luckily the sensor and wire are only 17.00 ish. lol Picked one up yesterday. I normally order all of my stuff from Maureen and Becky but this was an easy swing in and grab item.

Glad it worked out for you.

The weird thing is when mine started not many people reported the same thing --because after some time they started putting them in -- so it was really hard to figure out, now you guys are starting to have the issue, it so nice to share info on here.

Agreed 100%

It's what is so awesome about forums in general. But this place is more personable and we help each other out.

Funny how this issue just manifested it's self to me after 60k miles. Some it was only after 5k or so.

I may have spoke too soon. seems to be doing it again. I wonder if they forgot the washers on mine too. They were upset I was telling them what it was based on what I read on a forum and probably never even read the info I sent them about it.
calling them 1st thing in the morning.

The TSB numbers are in the OP Of this thread. Give it to them and tell them to check.

I will, just frustrating to have to tell them what is wrong with my car. I do most the work on my car, but try to use them for warrantee stuff and they hate when I tell them what I think it is. Now I have to deal with taking it back and messing with it again.

yes, think your right. haha. I am just happy someone from GM is monitoring this section and reaching out. I have an e-mai into the service manager now to see if they forgot the thrust washers. Doubt they will admit it, but I will keep you posted.
