Happy, just 5 minutes ago dealership called me.
New TCM received and installled, and programed. My A6 2011 Camaro has 3,045 miles in 12 months.
Two service managers checked programming and test drove my A6, 2011 2LT Camaro after new TCM (transmission conrol monitor) was insalled.
Issue was, confirmed with a test drive: "Test drove with customer and confirmed shift flare between 1-2 gears at approx 25% - 40% throttle opening." The flare was about 400 rpm when it should have been 200 rpm between gear shifts during fast acceration.
Bottom line a few others on Camaro5 with the A6 transmissions noticed a slight low gear hesitation. It appears there might be an issue with the TCM (transmision control monitor).
My TCM was replaced, programmed and now my A6 shifts fast without any hesitastion in low gear changes.
Only found on Camaro5. If others had not posted first, I would not be the first to resolve the issue. So now you know if you have an A6, noticed a low gear hesitation only during fast excelleration, fix could be replacing the TCM (transmision control monitor) under warrenty.
Hope my experience helps others.
