Default Long time problem

I'm the original owner of a 2015 Z51 coupe with automatic trans. Ever since I have the car it has had one occasional problem. Sometimes when travelling slowly and decelerating as if coming to a stop, then attempt to speed up, the car will lurch forward almost as if I was bumped from behind. When the car was new local dealerships were unable to solve the problem.Since it only happens occasionally, I have learned to live with this, and considered it the nature of the beast. I haven't been on the forum for a while and wonder if I missed a fix for this problem, such as an additive to the transmission fluid or the "triple flush". I have never had the "shuddering" problem.

Fluid is not the problem ..... the A8 is equipped with a adaptive learning TCM .

Any Harsh shifting complain can be solved with a simple "garage" relearn procedure . Any competent dealer or shop can do it for u

Then you need to drive it like you stole it once in a while...

Feel free to PM me if you would like the details on what this procedure does
