8 speed transmission shudders while cruising on the highway , very hard shift between gears 1and2 at low parking lot speeds. Down shifting at times takes a while forcing you to manually downshift with the paddle shifters

Hello! I want to report gm on the infamous 8l45 transmission shudder. I have had the fluid changed in 2018, the torque converter changed in 2018, and the fluid flushed with the na-18-355 bulletin back last year. Although the shudder hasn't returned. I don't trust that this transmission shows quality. I worry that this will last until our warranties are up and we're on our own. This not acceptable. This is a weak point of this amazing car. I had rough shifting and I've had shifts that bucked. This is not safe. This should be a recall or gm should give everyone a longer warranty on these transmissions.

Had a torque converter shudder which was fixed by updating to new gm fluids. After this service, around 1000 miles later I started experiencing hard shifts from 1st to 2nd gear. Took it into service where they changed a valve body. This got rid of my hard shifts for about 1500 miles, then it came back even worse. These problems occur when the car is in motion(usually under slow acceleration).

Transmission hesitates hard shifts vibrates and shudders when accelerating. Especially noticable between 55 to 85 MPH. Very dangerous when driving on highway or interstate as the hesitation during shudder may delay critical maneuvering of vehicle

Hard shifts between 1st & 2nd gear vibration between 1500 & 1800 RPM. This car has active fuel management vibration seems to happen worse when in 4 cylinder mode. Gm is aware of the issue and keeps promising a fix which has yet to be released. Blame it on fluid in transmission.
