Default so I just got FLUSHED...

Just completed the transmission fluid flush in my 2015 Night Race Blue Z51 convertible. Wow, what a difference. I went from thinking the car was misfiring to now smooth as can be. Very pleased with the outcome.

What exactly did they use? Did a dealer do it? My dealer told me I did not need to do it and I would be wasting my money. Of course my 14 only has 3149 miles

Your 14 is a 6 speed trans the flush is for the 8 speed trans 2015 all the way to some 2019 Corvettes.

I would also get the Magnetic Ride Upgrade if you have it!

I also SECOND the magnetic ride upgrade recommendation. It's wonderful! Best part was that my dealer only charged me about $100 for it, but I did have to take about thirty minutes to explain what it was and help them find the TSB since they had no idea what I was talking about.

Amazing how you have to educate some dealers how to do their job!

I'm glad they took care of you. I had mine done last month. I was advised to put a couple hundred miles on it right away to make sure it took. No problem. It runs great now. Dealer performed flush at no charge.

Sons Chevrolet in Columbus. I think that the $100 price was more of someone undercharging me than what the going rate is. Might want to call them first to verify pricing, since I had the recalibration done many months ago.

Had the triple flush performed on my '16 1LT this past week. Shudder seems to have gone away (for now) and shifts much smoother. Thanks to my wife for making the appointment to keep from hearing me complain about the shudder.

got my 18 done last week at 46k. Seems to drive a lot smoother. Never really had much of a shudder, just at about 40-42 mph.
