"Camaro, Corvette, Cadillac 6, 8, and 10 Speed Auto Trans Fluid Level Check - No Dipstick" in case the link does not work
Anyhow, about 10 minutes into, he notes a GM bulletin for anyone with the "shudder" to use Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP Tranny fluid. Maybe will help??

That's the same fluid put in at the factory for the last 2 years, We are now at the third formula(they are changing the label color this time and not the name, it was HP, then LV HP black, now LV HP blue). GM is saying it was the fluid causing all the problems. Because they spend a billion on a transmission and don't catch the fact the fluid they put in it is bad for it.
And you might want to read up on it because I wouldn't be surprised if people that don't have it actually just don't notice it, less than perfect roads and even music hide it well. Find a smooth road, drive slow and easy with exhaust in stealth if you have NPP, and listen for a light rumble during shifts, and see if your tach bounces around a few hundred RPM. I'll load a video later of it, it's very subtle in early stages.
