so my mechanic is telling me i need a new clutch pack for my A8. but i cannot find any A8 clutches online?? reason being im pretty sure my car never got the new transmission flush recall, so now its toast.

any help with finding this or is this info wrong? i assume i would need a new torque converter with it as well. 2016 2ss with 62k miles.

You don't provide any details about the problem to allow other forum members to help you resolve it. What specific issue did your car have that prompted you to take it to the mechanic?

The A8 shudder problem was a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) and not a recall. There were some cars where the torque converter had to be replaced in addition to the fluid flush but very few people reported damage to the transmission itself. Did your Camaro have a shudder problem prior to taking it to the mechanic?

Which clutch(es) did the mechanic say needed to be replaced? There is a clutch in the torque converter as well as several clutch packs in the transmission.

i basically had a two solenoids get stuck so i couldn't get any power into my gears. sorry im not mechanically informed enough to know much of whats going on in technical terms. car would shift into gears just fine but it basically stayed in neutral.

now, i got those two solenoids replaced and new fluid in and filter in. car still has a hard time shifting. has a nice lull before it shifts into gear. which is where the recommendation for a new clutch pack comes in.

He is probably referring to the clutch packs for 1st thru 8th gear. But if your mechanic is that far into it he needs to do the right thing and do a complete rebuild or find a used 8 speed auto from a salvage yard or somebody selling one.

thats what im looking for, but i havent had any luck finding them. idea was to put a new clutch pack in it with a rebuild. because i dont want to spend 6k on a new transmission :(

If you just put it back together and tested it and shifts were delayed or too harsh when they finally kicked in, you may have neglected to re-learn the changes made to the transmission.

It sounds awfully like the situation that this procedure is suggested to be done during normal diagnostics when shifting isn't within 1-2 seconds of being commanded.
