Malibu Hybrid Gearbox Slipping

Hey, I'm having trouble with my 2018 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid (about 198836 kilometers). The gearbox slips and shifts uncleanly. Could this be the transfer case oil? I'm worried about wear.

I've got a Malibu too, though I'm not sure about the year. I had similar shifting issues. Have you checked the transfer case oil for wear or contamination? Defective gears in the transfer case could cause that.

Thanks! That sounds similar. How did you figure out it was the gears in the transfer case? Did you do any tests or inspections?

The shifting got worse. I took it to a shop, and they said it was excessive gear wear in the transfer case. I needed a transfer case oil change and some parts replaced. You should get it checked out by a professional.

Thanks for sharing! I appreciate the advice. I'll book an appointment with a local shop to inspect the transfer case. Hopefully, it's not too serious, but I'm prepared. It will probably cost around 330€.
