" Shuddering – If you start to feel shudders when driving about 30 to 45 MPH, this could mean that you have torque converter problems on your hand. It will often feel like running over rough road or bumps and you will definitely notice it when it happens. Shuddering comes and goes without warning, so once you feel it the first time you should get your transmission checked out as soon as possible. Don’t wait for it to happen again."

Of course, if yours is a manual... never mind. |
Yep, auto, and it sounds like that issue. Now, the shudder is less of an issue, but a lack of power below 2,200RMP is noticeable (over 35mph).
I have a tendency to wear out automatic transmissions...then again, I bought it with 12k miles on it (certified preowned). It could have been a preexisting condition.

Yeah, this issue seems to be discussed online, but not to a degree for a service bulletin. At least this dealership moves MANY Camaros, and always has a bunch of new ones throughout their lot. I'd imagine the techs have driven enough of them to be able to feel something is off with mine.

I've tried disabling my TC, and it still happens. What seems to help (though I'm not 100% sure) is setting my 2LS "Manual" to 4th, so that it doesn't move up to any over drive gears. Driving with gears capped at 4th, there doesn't seem to be a problem (though in that scenario cursing at 35mph my RPMs are above 2k...above the problem area).
