Default Torque converter replacement

Are there any dealerships within or around the Nashville,TN area that has had experience with replacing the torque converter because of shudder problems?

Unfortunately by now the better question might be what Corvette dealership hasn't had experience with rectifying this issue.

I would go with the dealer that has the best overall reputation for Corvette service.

Very important to find a dealer who has replaced torque converters. Call them, they will tell you if they have replaced TC's. Practice makes perfect!!!!!! According to the Forum pole, a lot of 2015's have had their TC's replaced.

Default Torque Converter Replaced by Serra Chevrolet - Madison

My 2015 has 21,000 miles. Serra Chevrolet replaced the torque converter, Friday 9/29. I picked the car up today and drove it about 30 miles. It was perfect. They only kept the car 2 days. I was very pleasantly surprised. My service rep is Debbie Dietsch. Good Luck. I am so glad this is finally fixed.

Maybe GM finally has a FIX for the TC problems ! Wouldn't that be nice?
