A8 Issue TSB 16-NA-175 2017 2SS

My Symptoms: Shudder at constant speed going up slight inclines or lower speeds going up inclines.

TSB Symptoms: 1. A shake and/or shudder during light throttle acceleration between 25 and 80 mph (40 and 128 km/h) steady state driving when transmission is not actively shifting gears.
2. A shudder feeling that may be described as driving over rumble strips or rough pavement.

Link to the TSB on the corvette site. Other TSBs are for '16 Camaros but this one applies to '17. Hopefully this helps someone else. I've also converted it to a PDF and attached it to this post.

I had been feeling a shudder when going up inclines at a steady speed (50 - 65 mph) and had addressed it with the dealer twice. Each time they told me something different. The first time it was because I drive around in sport mode and the second time they told me my engine was lugging and that it was the V4 to V8 AFM that I was feeling.

On the third time I lost my mind on the tech and the service manager. I've been working on cars since I was 14. I've owned multiple Firebirds and Trans Ams and most recently a '15 Challenger. I told them that there is an issue with the torque converter and stop feeding me a line of BS, dig into it, and actually spend some time troubleshooting.

Prior to this appointment I had done a bunch of searching and that's when I found the subject TSB. It described my issue exactly. I gave them the TSB and what do you know, I have an issue with my torque converter.
