I own a 5.3L 2016 GMC 4x4 crewcab. I put a Range adapter at about 20K to keep it at V8 after reading of the lifter problems and did a Mobil 1 Blue and filter change at 40K. The truck ran better and smoother for awhile and no more shudder. It would still give me delayed shifting and clunks, but no more shuddering. I did a second tranny filter and oil change at 80k. Again it did great for awhile then got a code for the tranny oil temp switch at about 86K. I replaced the temperature harness and Mobil 1 blue (about 7 Quarts each time I did a change) and I'm at about 95K now. The shuddering has never returned, but I still have some delayed shifting,1-2 and clunking while highway driving. I recently pulled a u-haul 6x12 from NM to Austin,Tx (650 Miles) and noticed that the clunking continued and was more noticeable while towing. I'd like to see that we get something from GM off the class action lawsuit, but i'm not holding my breath and I'll repair the tranny once it goes.

Hey everyone. I thought I would chime in here since I've had this same issue on my truck 2015 Sierra 8 speed. Had a shudder and they told me to put this new Dexon fluid in. It did go away for about 1,000 miles. Then it came back. It wasn't as bad, but it was definitely noticeable. I wanted to avoid going back to the dealer at all cost because they already charged me $400+ for the fluid change. It was a specific GM bulletin that they followed that involved cycliing the fluid out 3 times and used 20 quarts. Anyway since the shudder came back I tried putting in 20 oz of Lubegard platinum. Over time the lubegard worked its way into the transmission and it got less and less noticeable. The stuff probably reduced 80% of the shudder but It was still there.... In the end I went back to the dealer and had a new torque converter put in. I'm picking the truck up today with the new part and hopefully this will all be behind me. Good luck to you all! I just thought I would give my testimony because I tried everything youre supposed to do except total replacement. GOOD LUCK!!

Some describe it like driving over a washboard briefly. I experience that plus a bit of bucking and rpm fluctuation as it tries to shift, almost like you have a third foot tapping the break while you accelerate. You'll know it when you feel it.

Some shudders are caused by the torque converter clutch. Modern transmissions use frequency modulation to control TCC pressure and allow a limited amount of slip, which can sometimes be perceived as a shudder.

Bandaid fix. Don’t lead people on. It’s the pressure regulator in the pump that wear out the bore and causes low line pressure. Once the torque converter clutch goes out it sends material thought the pump and scores it. Only a total rebuild will fix this problem. GM has not done anything about this problem sense 2007. All 6 and 8 speed transmissions have this problem.

I have a 2016 GMC All Terrain with 65,000 miles. I ordered and bought a Range plug in to keep my truck running as a V-8 at 50,000 miles. It has worked great. My truck has the 8 speed, so I recently did a transmission oil and filter change. The pan was extremely dirty for 65k miles. I unplugged the radiator ATF pump side and drained that too. I got about 7 qts ATF oil out and using a HArbor Freight pump, I replaced 7 qts of Mobil 1 Blue Label LV ATF HP. I cycled the gears a few times on automatic and gear selection before taking out fo a 20 mile round trip. This took care of the highway shuddering and low gear hard shifting and differential knock. You can’t get all the fluid out unless you drop the tranny and empty the torque converter. My truck runs better than when it was new and I’m getting about 2.5 more miles per gallon of gas. I also changed out my shocks to 4600 Bilsteins. Great ride now. I’ll do another tranny job at 100k.
