My car also goes in on Monday. Can you contact your dealership that did the work and have them email you the bulletin?
Perfect timing. Thank you for posting!

Thanks. I couldn't take the constant shuddering. So I brought it in.

Is this something that happens over time or did you all notice the shuddering right away?

^^^ Yep, exactly the same for me too. It started out as a "break-in" issue. Then after that, it started to get progressively worse.

Can you guys describe a little deeper what you mean by shuddering? Is it at constant speed or only during shifts? Under throttle or under coasting? Any particular gear?

The bulletin I found does not list this procedure. It only calls for 1 flush, fill, then drive a minimum of 200 miles. Do you have a link to your information? It would be extremely wasteful to perform 14 fluid flushes. Figure the trans probably holds around 10 quarts of fluid along with the converter, and a quart of trans fluid runs around $5, so that would be $700+/- worth of wasted transmission fluid if someone performed the service you described.
