I could live with that. It'll be a pain for everything to reset to factory defaults, but looks like I wont have much choice.

Just peel off the backing about an inch at a time as you hold your mark at the top of the rock guard.

If you stick the top and bottom at the same time, the center will have tension from the curve and pull away after a short time in the heat. Ask me how I know

Hi Heath,

Based upon your installation suggestions and feedback, I went ahead and placed my order for a set from ZL1 Addons (Black Friday 18% Discount)!


Thanks again for your help, Eric

Some possible info about the dreaded TC Shudder Q1 2019 update that is coming.

Very much like the Reo Speedwagon lyrics go...”Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who...”

A Head Mechanic at a Chevy dealership states that GM is coming out with a TCU flash Q1 2019 as the update to the TC Shudder. The Head Mechanic further stated the problem isn’t the actual converter or trans itself but that it’s the programming of the TCU causing what some would call gear searching, which in turn causes the shudder. The mechanic even stated the fix will apply to not only Camaros but Corvettes, Silverados and anything else running the A8 with associated TCU tune.

The TC Shudder has been found to be rectified by some HP Tuners users after adjusting certain settings which does corroborate this news.

For those affected with the TC Shudder and waiting for this new fix, it is unknown at this time if the new procedure will inspect and replace any damaged/burnished units as well as if this will be a recall or TSB.

As I find out more I will be sure to share with everyone.

I know it's off-topic but do you happen to know if the A8/TC is used by other manufacturers? Our Jeep GC has an A8 and I'm noticing a slight shake running through 2nd gear under moderate acceleration.

Just curious before I start a dealership discussion. Thanks.

Good question Ric. I’m not sure. But this isn’t outside the realm of possibility. The auto manufactures like to cooperate on some of the tech in vehicles. I will see if I can find any info.

CCS71...A suggestion that you may want to consider is a solar battery tender/charger. I saw them at Harbor Freight last week. They aren't expensive and plug into the 12v socket, so it may be worth a shot.

A case can also be made for "slightly irritated wife, amusing life"

I also have the shudder. I hope that this new solution does not nullify the fluid update. I would like to update the fluid, then immediately apply the flash as well.

I personally feel the flush will still be a part of this. Flush then flash. But I could be wrong. As I get more details I will be sure to share. Still waiting to see if it’s a TSB or Recall. If TSB I can snag it quicker than Recall.
