That causes the lug & when radio off the chatter/vibration noise from below (2nd thru 3rd gear).

As I stated before I have had this issue in many GM cars. You can complain till blue in the face, nothing they are going to change or "fix" from factory standpoint.


Good luck!
Umm the 6 does not have AFM. I don't know where you got that info. Only the SS L99 with auto transmission has AFM.
Mine does not vibrate or chatter at low RPMs and neither did my 2010.
