My TC was replaced February, 2016 and the new revised TC part number was 24279495. The OP's failed TC has the same part number. Not looking too good for mine. My transmission has been flawless since the TC replacement and I have put an additional 13K miles on my car. Looks like I will be purchasing an extended warranty because I want to keep my car for more than 5 years.
And GM goes..
every time some fool buys an A8

When will you get the point that based on your prior behaviors on this forum that regardless of how many user names you come up with, the admins continued banning means you are not welcome on this forum?
Why do you reply to my positive comment about the way a reasonable man handled a problem with more chest thumping and keyboard pounding?
I wonder how long it will be before your latest incarnation as "CorvettePride" will be banned...

That is my concern. They have replaced TCs with "updated" versions and then we discover that there must be an update to the update to the update and it has been hush hush. So that leads me to believe that the updated versions still are not an official fix. Then as someone mentioned, what's different about the ones that continue to perform fine? Are there multiple TC suppliers with one supplier not making TCs to GM's spec? Or is there variation in the raw materials being used by the TC manufacturer? Or does one shift at the manufacturer perform better work than another shift(s)? Lots of questions with minimal data being shared with us...

This is VERY interesting; our '17 GS was built Sept.16 and probably has PN 24279495 TC in it also. So far no problems with our GS but only have 1600 miles on it. BTW when our previous '15 Stingray acted up and TC was replaced in April 16 the new TC PN was also 24279495. Wonder what changes were made again to warrant a new TC PN in the latest version. Would like to find out more about this.
Please keep us informed; thanks

My replacement transmission April 2016 probably has TC part# 24279495 in it which is probably why my driveline is not working well again. Mine will be going back in for maintenance again shortly,third time for me.

This is interesting. Hope you can find out if tuning was changed. It doesn't seem like the TC would reduce how often it goes into and stays in V4. I could see it affecting rpm and how often it switches between V8 and V4. The solid rpm is also interesting. I can't test mine right now due to weather (0F and snow), but I know there were times it fluctuated.

"CAN'T WAIT O SEE YOU AT THE BASH THIS YEAR." Is this some sort of veiled threat or attempt at intimidation to a respected forum member?
You really need to get a life.

That's a cute game for a 9-year old. Fortunately, you're easy to spot and not very smart about it because all these new members with 1-2 posts keep showing up saying the same thing.

Same with me....when my TC was replaced Feb 2016 the part removed for core return was 24279495 and replaced with 24279495.
My replacement transmission April 2016 probably has TC part# 24279495 in it which is probably why my driveline is not working well again. Mine will be going back in for maintenance again shortly,third time for me.

Not sure why you have such an agenda by continuing the bashing of the car. You don't like C7's with A8 transmissions. Got it. Rather than making 40 different accounts, move on. There are so many other options available and life is too short. Get a life.

Really, dude? You're going to call one of the most respected members of the board a spoiled cry baby? Were you looking in the mirror when you said that?

Yes this respected member of this Forum friended me on Face Book so he could spy on me . After my mother was featured here the oldest 2017 G/S owners. I however reversed the favor on FB and did a little research into him and his insurance business.

I have better things to do with my time than to "spy" on you. It's funny too because you sent me the Facebook friend request after I helped you with some information about your 2017 Grand Sport.

What the hell is wrong with this guy?
And his mother was featured here......so I guess it's Mommy's car that he's pissed off about. Well, I suppose if you still live in Mommy's basement, listening to her bitch about that horrible car would drive you nuts.

I might not be handling it so well if mine had to go in for the 3rd time. I would insist on making sure it is going to be replaced with 24280631. Is there a dealership with a more reputable service dept in your area? Even if I had to drive a couple of hours, it would be worth it if I knew it would be done right.

Maybe his agenda is to use up all the account names so new people can't join the forum.

By his own hand and keyboard he has slipped another notch and just become irrelevant.........most of us don't even bother to read his posts any more.
