Some Chevrolet Camaro owners report experiencing persistent transmission shudder problems, particularly in the 2016-2017 models with GM's 8-speed automatic transmissions. Despite multiple fluid flushes under warranty, these issues remain a common concern. Some owners have noted that a new fluid flush may help alleviate shuddering and harsh shifting, as GM has developed a service procedure recommending three flushes to address shudder concerns related to the friction modifier quality in the fluid. However, failing to address these shuddering issues promptly can lead to more severe transmission problems, potentially requiring a complete transmission replacement. Additionally, owners are advised to consider factors such as fluid quality, maintenance history, and possible underlying issues like a failing transmission mount or low fluid levels when troubleshooting persistent shuddering. Consulting with a qualified mechanic or dealership is recommended to diagnose the root cause and explore potential solutions.
