Question L99 Vibration in car

Good day. Does anybody have any vibration in car like a torque converter malfunction ? I visited GM service, they disabled turning off 4 cylinders and no vibrations at all. It very looks like torque converter issue. What engine parts may be needed for replacement ? Any suggestions

I think there was a TSB for the torque converter clutch regulator valve on the Camaros and some of Chevys other models. I know the vibration was common on the V8 trucks too.

Chevys AFM sure was a piece of crap for owners.

If no vibes with AFM/DOD disabled….Have it turned off permanently with a tune.

I returned back to stock firmware with no cat settings. The issue remains.

I went to the GM dealer. When AFM system is ON everything is OK. Vibrations and kicks happens while driving during changing from OFF to ON and conversely.

They said that the engine oil pressure on idle is 20 psi and this can be a reason. But GM dealer does not know what to do and how to solve this problem. Oil is 5W30, stock pump.

Any suggestions?

Will it work with tuned ECU? I have O2 sensors disabled, settings were modified in the ECU...
