Mine only shuddered when fully warm, 70-75 mph, a slight positive grade with rpm ~1700. Tap the paddle for a down shift and it went away until the system took it back to 8th.

Under hard load it was fine. Shifts were/are great. I suspect the shudder is cause by dropping to four cylinder and then hitting grade that put it on the edge of needing to change to eight cylinders.

Overall, I like the transmission. The 3 to 4 upshift is a fantastic kick in the ass. I know exactly how to tap the accelerator to activate performance shift mode, etc.

I’m troubled to see owners to 2015 and older trucks and Corvettes with this issue and now 2016 and 2017 Camaro. That’s not a “bad batch of parts”.

My TC was replace 4K miles ago and it’s perfect now. Has the problem actually been identified and fixed?
