I assume you used these?

Correct those are the products I used. And I didn't monitor my transmission temps before I used the Lubegard additives, but my temps stay around 115-130F now.

Cool. Got those bookmarked now. I would certainly try something like these before spending big money on a new TC or a transmission "tune", not that I have much of a handle on what that would cost anyway.

What is the percentage of people with A8 Camaros who have this issue?

So I had the flush done back in October but it was not with the new fluid. Tried to get it done in February when the new fluid was out but the dealership won’t touch it unless it has the shudder when they hook up a Picoscope to tell if it is doing it. Mine did not so the y did not do the flush. Fast forward to today and I stopped at the nearest Chevy dealership to ask about the new fluid flush and that they don’t have to use the Picoscope anymore if you have hard shifts. Got an appointment Wednesday the new fluid flush

Can't go wrong with new fluid, IMO. Is yours currently experiencing the shudder?

Not yet but the shifts are hard as hell one day and smooth the next and the service guy said that was enough evidence for them to do the flush.
Got the flush done with the new fluid and only time will tell how it holds up. Seems yo be shifting smoother right from the get go
