2017 Chevrolet Camaro 2dr Coupe

455-horsepower 6.2L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD

5888 mi Car developed cyclical intermittent vibration, noticeable above 25mph, most prominent > 55mph. Research indicated a known problem with previous year Camero's and Corvettes related to the toque converter. They flushed and replaced the transmission fluid three times. This took care of the problem. When inquired about viscosity of fluid, they needed a lighter viscosity. Problem resolved. If not, they would replace the torque converter. So far, so good; it hasn't returned. 
38000 mi Torque converter issue common on A8 cars. Followed TSB and did a triple flush of transmission fluid (under warranty). Seems to have fixed problem.
