Looking forward to your replies and guidance.

(1) How can I tell what transmission I have?
As far as I know it's 8L90E
(2) What causes the shudder?
Torque converter lockup clutch slippage.
(3) Until I can get my car to the dealer, will I cause any damage if I continue to drive it?
Maybe... I took mine in as soon as I felt the shudder at around 10K miles. They did the flush... was better for about 10-15K after that now its back again around 25K miles. Granted, I put a procharger on it, but lockup clutch shouldn't be affected by that as it only applies at light to no throttle.
It's kinda hit or miss whether it will get perm fixed by the flush. But general consensus is get it fixed as soon as possible to minimize damage, but it may already be too late.
Personally, I plan on putting in an aftermarket TC over the winter most likely.
Great car... but this issue has really made me angry.
