Thanks, I have 157K on my STS.

Mines had 178 oil pump went n burnt the motor out. My new motor got 71k

shelly hunter in my opinion don’t follow gms oil change schedule use synthetic and gm has a new oil filter for these engines that low restriction I would change no more than 5000 miles

I completely understand.

Haha, I really understand. That is what I said after it got fixed. Thanks for watching and let me know once you get it fixed.

Thanks for the tip.

I appreciate your comment and I thank you for watching. I don't think people understand how nice of a car these are plus like you said they are very fast. Are you going to get a new Cadillac?

I'm not :-( I've been putting off getting an SUV, I have 2 large dogs who get squished in the backseat of my CTS. I LOVE my CTS, it's a 2007 with 140k miles. The engine runs great (At 120k I had to have the timing chain replaced on GMs dime. Not enough cars affected for a recall, but if you inquire they will cover the cost.) I just replaced the ignition coils (1st time), spark plugs(2nd time), and starter(1st time). It's so fast...the pick-up is excellent. It's always had the "Clunk" when I shift mainly from P to D or R. I started hearing a "whining" noise and found a video here that had the same sound. My mechanic quoted me $2100 for the fix...all the bushings and driveshaft center support bearing need replacing and a few other things. I'm really thinking about keeping it and fixing it when I have the time and maybe talk by brother in law into doing the fixes for me... If I can find a reasonably price SRX I would like to stick with Cadillac, but I'm looking at the GMC Terrain. I'm not done with Cadillacs...I would like another one in 5 years... not sure what kind, but it's going to be a 2 door coupe and not black LOL

I understand owning an SUV. I have owned a Cadillac Escalade and currently we have a Land Rover lr3, love having an SUV. I own a black one so I'm with you do not get black also hard to keep things clean. When I had my shift linkage repaired it was only $700 I think 2100 is a little on the expensive side.

Jennifer Perez g Hi get a friend who’s mechanically inclined to help you , couple of cautions after you lift the car put stands under it and block your wheels safety first , also mark with paint or marker all the drive shaft and The rear end flange to the drive shaft and the transmission out put to the drive shaft so they can be put back in the exact location as they are balanced at the factory . Plan the repair first do some home work first I found some videos on line from auto parts suppliers I think it was 1A auto on CTS drive shaft centre bearing repair .It is do able without a hoist or lift .

Glad I can help thanks for the comment. I appreciate you for watching.

I appreciate your comment and thanks for the young reference but I don't always feel young. This is one of the few times I let the dealer work on my car.

oxmanagain the only hard part of the repair is the exhaust has to be dropped or removed , my quick way will be to cut and re join rather than try to un bolt a 14 year old exhaust bolts I will check first . I have an 04 Grand Prix and you have to drop the tank to change fuel pump one guy put on line how he cut small inspection cover in the floor above the tank and replaced it that way

Yeah that was just what mine was doing and now it is so smooth.

Did you ever get it fixed? Having the same issue on a 2005 Cadillac CTS

I really like my sts too and mechanic told me same story but thanx for the video he can fix

Am in the process of installing plugs and coil packs in my sts found several videos tutorials for v6 305 requires removing air intake plenum completely but it too bad

Bro he did the shit outta that i didnt expect any one to show that.... And i have everything but the bunny so im guessing irs the diff. Bushings im guessing

Thanks I appreciate the support, I will check out your channel as well. Have a nice day.

I also subbed to you. I like your channel you have a lot of interesting videos.

Thanks!

yYou're welcome and thanks for watching.

No

Thanks for watching and I hope you have the same success as me.

No tire spin.

Thank you for watching.

You're welcome and if you have the same problem I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

Hast du auch das selbe problem gehabt ?

@@besteleben7671 was ist dein problem genau

@@fredliess1433 bei meinen 06, STS 4.6 RWD ruckelt das Auto einmal beim Gang einlegen also von P auf R und D. Scheint als würde das Auto los wollen und macht dabei so ein dumpfes Gräusch das sich wie ein „Schlag“ anhört. Sonst schaltest es ganz gut beim Fahren

First off thanks for watching I really appreciate the support. I would definitely have your rear bushing on the differential check plus have them check the center linkage on your driveshaft. I left a link talking about the code you sent me. I would start by cleaning the MAF sensor. Let me know how it all turns out. www.obd-codes.com/p0174

Once I changed the fluid it made a difference.

NO the light didn't come on.

Well at least you know what to fix now.

Thanks. I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching.

MR HERSHEYBAR What is the solution? I literally am expecting this on an 07 Lexus Es 350. I believe the fluids were out. I would like to narrow to specific part if I need rebuilt transmission

Here is a link to a video of me changing the fluid. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMBjdNapzq2nf6c.html

Btw I got a 2007 CTS 3.6

Have you taken it to the dealer?

Yeah you can send me an email at. oxmanagain@gmail.com

Thanks so much

I agree I think it is the shift linkage. It probably needs to be inspected.

I appreciate it!!!!

I would look into your shift linkage.

Thanks a lot.

My g8 had the same problem

This is one of the most funnest cars I've ever driven and owned.

I was going to but I didn't have any free time and it was driving me and the wife crazy. You do have a point because I would have saved about $300. But they did a good job and it only took them a few hours. Thanks for watching.

That is exactly what mine was doing. It's been six seven months now and it's still just as good as the day I got it fixed. You would think you have a new car again.

I cleaned my throttle body once and I didn't have to relearn my throttle body. I just drove and it did it by itself. Other than that the only way I could think would be go to the dealer.

@oxmanagain i recently took the throttle body off for cleaning reinstalled everything car turns on for a min or two but then dies off it wont stay on

How was your car running before you took off and cleaned the flower body?

No it won't do that unless the driveshaft actually breaks. It will just make your ride very rough on the initial acceleration from a dead stop.

That's the beauty of KZfaq everybody helps everybody.

For sure, I appreciate your videos bro.

Thanks, man.

Did you end up finding what the problem was? I’m experiencing the same problem

I left a few links in the description below the video.

My car is so smooth now because of new bushings. Thanks for watching.

I think you might have the same problem as I did.

sorry, I don't know.

No worries. I cant figure it out. It sounds like rocks in a can...

I made a video on the whole process. Here is the link. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMBjdNapzq2nf6c.html

The bushing I changed was on the rear differential. Then I changed the center linage on the driveshaft. To answer your question yes the front and rear bushings are different.

I just got the bushing and center linkage replaced.

Haha, thanks for watching.

No, not yet. Why did your check engine light come on?

What was it

Usually it's the clink clink sound when shifting is a shift linkage bushing. From what I understand there's two of them

I left a link in the description below the video on where you can buy one for the STS. Thanks for watching.

oxmanagain Do you know if the parts are the same cuz mines is a v6

I went to 3 different websites and not one ask if it was a V6 or V8. Then I found a site that had the same linkage for both the V6 and V8. I think it will work on both of them but to make sure call the dealer and ask them if there is a difference.

oxmanagain thank you I appreciate it so much help

No problem, glad I could help a fellow Caddy owner. If you are having the same issues you will love this fix.

No I haven't.

oxmanagain I'm having a problem with running lean both banks...but not sure if it's to much air or not enough fuel.

I would clean my throttle body and I would check out my fuel injectors . plus, you might want to keep an eye on your oxygen sensors.

oxmanagain will do thank you for the advice!!!

Keep me posted on your progress.

Yes I did and those were in pretty good shape. After I had the bushings and the center link change the car is just amazing all over again. That was a pretty good tip but for me it wasn't the U-joints, thanks for watching.

Dave James it doesnt have U joints.has rubber couplings.

I don't know because it didn't do that for.

Sorry, I don't have the nav system but I will do some research and let you know what I find.

NP... sounds good... thank you...

promking03 here is a link that might help you find the problem. bit.ly/2IlGutL

Prepáčte, nerozumiem tvojej otázke.

I believe it is, I was told it was the same.

My cts just put me down for the sec. Time . They say it's the transfercase but I'm keeping my car so I'm going to have this done also while I have the money. I fell putting 2th into what is paid for is better that getting something i do not know about

If you get this fixed you will be pleasantly surprised with how much more you like your car.

I was doing some research, what is your exact problem?

@@oxmanagain the piston rod is bent. I gotta pull the engine and place another one in it.

@@mikelbrooks6378 are you going to rebuild your engine or put a used complete new engine in?

@@oxmanagain if I place a new 3.6 in it, it'll be something newer with lesser miles on it. A crate will cost me $4,500

@@mikelbrooks6378 I was just looking at used engines yesterday and if you don't have an issue. You can get a used engine for under $1,000 with under 50,000 miles.

shinmai Are you talking about the thumbnail or the first few second on the video? Plus, I'm always open for suggestions what you got for me.

oxmanagain you video was great ,quality ,explanation,presentation I liked it just fine easy to understand

That sounds like a bushing linage.
