Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2006 gmc sierra 2500. The fly wheel, which runs with the transmission and helps change gears has had to be replaced three times within two years. While driving approximately 10 mph during the first failure, there was a loud clicking noise and it became louder over time. The dealer stated the vehicle was operating normally.
