I've got 16K plus miles on my 2016 SS manual. Last 3K or so I noticed that upshifting to 2nd felt a bit harsh, not smooth like when it was new. No issue on the downshifting to 2nd, just when going from 1st to 2nd. I read a few postings on this forum suggesting to have the tranny and rear differential fluids replaced and that this would make the shifting smoother. so I decided to try it. Over the weekend, I went to my local chevy dealer here in Miramar, Fla and for $385 got both fluids changed. The price for the DIFF was $161.95 and the tranny was $168.97. A bit pricey, but I didn't have any other choice. I felt that this was not a do-it-yourself job for me. So far the results feel right. I've driven about 50 miles and definitely feel the difference going from 1st to 2nd. Shifting feels smoother. I guess time will tell. I'll provide an update after a week or so of driving. Stay tuned..
