Default Transmission problem C7 A8

I recently started having my transmission feel like it’s shuttering/pulsating during cruising speed. Went to the dealer and they updated my transmission but the problem continues. Dealer is recommending a transmission flush. Thoughts please. Should I do this or not.

the triple flush and relearn will work for 5-10k miles, but the real solution is torque converter replacement, followed by aftermarket tune to correct GMs thought process of lockup application and “controlled slip”.

Triple flush is the next step. It fixed the issues on my 2017 along with a TCM re-tune at the dealer. Mine never came back as others have suggested theirs has. GM will not just replace the Torque Converter without going through the listed steps.

Thanks for the replies. I’ll start with the flush and see what happens.

What have dealers been charging (for cars outside of warranty) for the triple flush?
