Anyone know if there is a service bulletin out on C7 tranny
One of my fellow club members with a 2015 C7 Stingray told me he has found out there is a problem with the bell housing or tranny on his 2015, something about the oil lines need to be drained and replaced with different oil?
Dealer asked him to bring it in to be done.
i have a 2016 Stingray and my dealer doesn’t know anything about it?
Anyone know anything about this?

You're kidding, right? This is one of the most discussed topics here. Use the search engine, please. Yes, there are bulletins on it..... start with Bulletin #16-NA-175.

Torque converter issues. Change transmission fluid to a different type. They used to do a triple flush. I don’t know what the service recommends now.. I have a 2014, none issue for me. 2015 and newer, yes needs it.

Does your friend have the issue? All the stuff that is published right now are service bulletins, there are no recalls. So if they are not experiencing an issue, they aren't going to just do the service.

Tis true. The Tech is required to hook some kind of vibration thingy up, and drive the car. If the shudder is there they will change the fluid to a different viscosity fluid only, if not you won't get the new fluid. No filter change anymore. Just had this done to my '16 A8. If your friend isn't having any problems there's no need to worry.
