I would say the best thing to do is to check out a dealership to see if they can pinpoint the concern you are having. Please let us know if this is what you decide to do.

Brandon, considering I am the one that started this thread and pinpointed the problems leading up to having the Defective Torque Converters replaced, I highly suggest anyone else having this problem to please go back to the start of this thread and read it thoroughly, as there is no sense in repeating ourselves to those that want to shortcut or want a short version of these problems associated with these Defective Factory Torque Converters.

Also, the first paragraph also shows a link to the TSB Bulletin on this Case, Please Print it out and take it to the Dealership, as most of the Dealerships that have not performed this service DO NOT know about it and will give you the Run Around in telling you that will have to check on it and get back to you, which is why you need to do your homework before taking your car into any Dealership to expedite things better!

Why is this posted in the engine, exhaust and bolt-ons section instead of the V8 and V6 Transmissions / Driveline (6L80 / 6L50 / TR6060 / AY6)
section?

The reason it is in this section, is it first started out to be like an Engine Miss or maybe I got ahold of some Bad Gas, then with the help of others, it escalated into a transmission torque converter problem in which was diagnosed and replaced by my dealership! Hope this helps, as certainly, you do not close out one thread and start another one, especially when It pertains to all 2012 Camaro LFX Engine Owners with the 6L50 Transmission in it, with Defective Torque Converters from the Factory!

I just dropped the camaro off at the dealer this morning. They had no problem diagnosing the torque converter problem with a test drive.

When does a TSB become a recall?

[ChevyCam13]

The torque converter problem is only on the auto transmission right?

Correct, a standard clutch is in the manual cars, a torque convertor is a fluid filled connection between a auto trans and an engine.

A TSB is short for technical service bulletin and is not necessarily affecting a larger amount of vehicles. Simply put, a TSB provides technicians required new service information. It provides a correction to a specific product problem and usually contains repair procedures, information on part numbers and availability, and warranty labor code information.

Brandon, if you are going to become apart of My Thread on this Torque Converter Subject, it would be nice for you to share all the facts with 2010-2013 Camaro Owners with the 6L50 Automatic Transmission!

So, it would be nice if you would finish answering the question above: When does a TSB become a recall? Everyone here already knows what a TSB ( Technical Service Bulletin ) is!

A recall and a tsb serve 2 completely separate things. And are completely different. One does not become another. If you knew what a tsb was you would know this. A tsb is there to help a technician repair a common issue in a timely fashion. A recall is a campaign started in order to bring vehicles in to repair a dangerous situation that can result in injuries. They are nothing alike.
