As far as AFM not making a real difference, that depends on your driving habits. I have managed to take the a 25 mile average on the same strip of road (all highway). The difference was almost 6 mpgs (36.6mpg vs 30.4mpg). Most of the people claiming no improvement are driving stop and go, or urban areas which it definitely doesn't make a difference. On the highway at speed, the difference is significant. Is that worth it to some people? Probably not, but that's a matter of personal choice.

On the highway speeds.....what RPM/MPH do you run with the 30mpg? If I can get that on my SS, that would be fine....Also....do you use an AFM disabler or just run it in manual?

Glad you think it's funny. I went to the dealer and they didn't do anything about it. I'm busy, so I don't have time to spend a day there arguing with them and trying to recreate the issue for them.

Dealer's had my car 3 weeks, and I'm very busy as well. It's their problem to fix and I'll be damned if I try to drive around it. |

Another bad torque converter
Add one more car to the list, my 2017 V6 has the shuddering problem. I took it into the dealership about 2 weeks ago with 3600 miles on it. They test drove it and ordered a new torque converter. I haven't heard back from them yet.

Same issue with Transmission Shudder
Hello, I just purchased a 2017 1lt v6 with a transmission shudder at rpms between 1,000 to 2,000. I noticed the issue within the first couple of weeks of ownership. I have 2,600 miles and will be taking it in at 5,000 miles. I want to be able to duplicate the problem for them but so far I cant seem to make it happen, its totally random. I have heard that they will do the three flush procedure, but will I need to show them the shudder or will they take my word for it? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

My dealer was very familiar with the issue and had no trouble reproducing it, but I also waited until it was shuddering regularly.

I have found that cruise control on a flat surface over 60mph recreated it quickly and often.

The dealers aren't fixing the problems. They're kicking the can down the road. They're installing the same torque converters which will eventually have the same issue. Also, customer experiences have been varying from dealership to dealership with some jumping right on it while others play deaf, dumb, and blind to the issue and refuse to recognize the problem. Some of us have modded engines and/or exhausts to boot and dealer service centers get all bitchy about that even if you come in with a known issue. What you say is right, GM should just fix this shit without question but, the reality is that they can't even bring themselves to make this a recall issue. It's a service bulletin which has to be brought in and proven to be a problem. Half the time, unless it jumps up and bites their dick off, they can't find an issue. So, when you weigh out the fact that replacing the torque converter is only a temporary fix with the experiences of customers getting their car back only to be told the tech can't find a problem, it makes sense to find a permanent solution ourselves. You can play Billy Badass all day long but, that doesn't mean the dealership is going to replace your torque converter. They can deny you for any sort of stupid reason. I don't drive around the problem. I tuned the problem out in the software. And if I have any issue with the torque converter, I'll swap it out with an aftermarket one that I won't have to replace again in 8k miles and I'll get better performance to boot.

AFM just exacerbates the problem, it doesn't cause it.
