Question about transmission R&R
I recently had my 2015 Z51 coupe in to Palmetto Chevrolet for replacement of the torque converter, my question is: was it necessary to remove or loosen the rear bumper cover during this process? My reason for asking is that the cover is misaligned now, but was perfect when brought in to the dealer, I don't want to go to battle with these people if this was not part of the proceedure to R&R the parts, thanks in advance for any comments.

Yep, and it can be a ***** to if your doing it for the 1st time
Someone was in a rush, after you've done it a time or too it's no biggie. Go back and have them make it right, the tech knows he screwed up.

I have a question about the shudder problem. I have a 2015 C7 about 22,000 miles, never experienced any problems until last week. I was in stop and go traffic on the freeway and was experiencing the transmission not shifting smoothly when accelerating after slowing down, may or may not be a shudder but definitiely felt like something wrong. Haven't been able to duplicate it again. is this shudder problem intermittent or all the time

Dealer should only charge you for an hour

If not misaligned when it went in and was when returned... well, duh. I went through the same thing with a C5 headlight when the motor was replaced. Once I got past the stupid-a**ed service writer it was fixed correctly in 10-minutes. DON'T take their bulls**t; way too many let them off the hook for such shabby "work." All the best.
