Flush does not fix anything...once a converter starts to shudder, it has a problem and needs replaced. These are band-aid measures to get the customer out the door and hopefully not return until the warranty is up.

Imho you have 3 options....

1) Get the TCM tuned asap after purchasing a A8 car to eliminate AFM and the TCC slip tables. This may void your warranty but it is a true fix to the problem as long as the converter is not already toast.

2) Get the converter replaced with the updated unit or purchase a good aftermarket converter from FTI or Circle D.

3) Trade the A8 car for a A10 or Manual.
