Chevrolet Silverado owners have reported 6 problems related to transmission shudder (under the power train category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Transmission shudder at speed. Hard shifts at slow speed. Appears to be well documented across this site and other forums. It appears the oil used in the transmissions was defective (per chevy) . TSB - 16-na-175 and TSB 18-na-355. Hopefully adding to the long list of complaints helps get chevy to issue a "recall" or something similar to resolve the issue with the flush procedures or similar fixes.

Purchased 2/2003; "service transmission" light comes on intermittently; dealer unable to fix problem. Grinding noise in transmission; advised by dealer not to use 4wd low as it may become stuck.

Transmission shudders forward or reverse, immediately after releasing foot brake to begin acceleration.
Since date of purchase, transmission has been vibrating and causing engine to feel like it is under stress/heavy load. Contacted dealer and another chev. Serv. Both advise chev. Knows of problem but does not know what it is or how to correct it. Contacted chev. Cust. Serv. Total waste of time. They do not care. Simply state if chev. Tac says they are working on problem what do I care. They will fix it eventually. Problem is if they dont know what the problem is how can chev. Claim it is not a safety issue. Second problem- abs brakes are activating on dry hard surface at speeds under 40 mph. Dealer syays problem does not exist. Stated they called chev. Tac know nothing about break problems so there must not be one. Tried to say that I dont know how abs works. Have had abs for 15 years know it pretty well. It is definitely activating when is should not. It seems that chev. Is not concerned becasue truck was bought and paid for.
