I bought a 2011 Enclave with 87k miles on it a few years back. Trans started shifting late and other minor annoyances. Had the dealer change the fluid for $100 and things improved. Since then I have the trans fluid every 30k miles (120k & 150k). My Enclave has 164k miles on it and trans shifts fairly well but intermittently shifts late.
Cannot emphasize the importance of changing the trans fluid on 1st generation models. 2nd generation also seems to benefit as well.
I did research and have been happy with the XADO trans fluid treatment (on Amazon). Magic Russian "cureall" oil does seem to make a difference with how my Enclave shifts. Less delay and a bit less slippage.
You should also consider adding a transmission cooler to supplement the factory one.
Cheers.
