Didn’t pay much attention to what we already had, and hadn’t heard of the 8L issue until getting on this forum, but Wife has a 16 CTS with the 8L behind a 2.0T, 30k some miles, and it’s never done it. My DD is a 17 XT5 also with an 8L behind a 3.6, nearing 30k, and it’s never done it.
Keeping my fingers crossed for the Camaro, but it still has 2 years on the Powertrain warranty so if it comes up I’ll get the fix.

To be honest with you, I really never knew about the shudder until I was browsing the forums. Around late summer, I read that dealers don’t need to diagnose for the issue, as long as you tell them the shudder is “present” they’ll perform the TSB. I did it back in September just to have the peace of mind and not having to worry about it.
Since then, the car has driven a hella lot smoother. If anything, the trans is shifting better and is a little more responsive. Only time will tell if this new fluid is truly the cure or is just a bandaid fix. My car is in storage as we speak, I’m definitely ready to drive it again!
