might help explain it a bit better. its technical, but most will get it. http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=510599
once they do the flushes, the next step is the torque converter replacement. GM has "upgraded" the converter part numbers two times now, last I checked. naturally a better clutch material will provide better lockup. however theres no real way outside of dissection of a tq converter to find out what exactly was improved. but the link above, shows how tuning can solve said issue. most I know locally, that have went to circle D tq converters in their SS models, have increased the line pressure as done in the link, and haven't looked back and zero issues.

I forwarded them a PDF of the tsb this evening...it will be interesting to see their response..they definitely feel the issue..I had one guy ride with me and then later the transmission tech took it for drive and both people feel it. But the transmission tech says it is not the transmission...I could be wrong but it feels exactly like what everyone else has described.

So just got car back and they insist its normal behavior. The transmission tech rode with me and felt what I was talking about. They had run several diagnostics on it and didnt find anything. I m not sure if they had done the one you are referencing though. They had it a week and I was just ready to have it back. From what has been posted though, this isnt something easily fixed by dealer so I pretty much give up and will live with it unless it gets noticeably worse.

facts being, some dealerships will sell ya something and be the drizzling sh*ts when it comes to servicing it. we've all heard of the warranty denials cause of intakes, and even genuine gm parts they didn't get to install and charge you for. On the other side, some dealer ships are "fantastically well" when it comes to it and will go above and beyond to ensure you love, not like....love what you bought. my advice, check with another dealership. or better yet, call into the GM Quality line thingy. theres quite a few posts on it in the transmission forum. talk to them and have them open up a case ticket if need be if the problem is still there. theres also a GM Rep in some of the posts that check in from time to time about issues with the cars and helping people get stuff right. (if I run across a post tonight with it, i'll add it to this post) http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=285 http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=142 This is the one you may wanna send a PM to... http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showpo...9&postcount=17

Thanks for the info...I'm going to give it a couple of months and take it back and tell them its still doing it and to do the test that you mentioned. I will say, I feel like they did try to help...multiple test drives and they did talk to GM supposedly. I do find it hard to believe that this wasnt a simple trusting the customer and going by the TSB solution provided by GM.

I wouldn't describe the feeling I get in my car when the engine switches from v4 to v6 as a shudder. It simply has the annoying feeling of the TC unlocking for a split second, then locking again. Only one time per change from v4 to v6.
