Is the 19 trans the same as previous gen? Mines a 16 and im have the shuttering issue and sick of the circle jerk

Depends on engine since they are still selling the older versions, but there’s a 6, 8 and 10 speed available.

I remember reading somewhere that they're updated. Whether its mechanical or software based... your guess is as good as mine.

I doubt it’s software or they’d have fixed a bunch before this lawsuit was filed...

Had the same problem in my 2016.

This is what I read before buying my 2019.

 

My 19 shifts so much smoother than my 16.  No more clunks when down shifting either.

 

In a line buried deep within a previous announcement uncovered by GM Authority, Chevrolet states that the 8-speed Hydra-Matic in the 2019 Silverado features “enhancements designed to improve shift quality, as well as a new centrifugal pendulum absorber torque converter that reduces vibrations to improve smoothness.”

So what transmission do you have??  May be good to know.  The 17 and up 8 speeds have new  TCM's.  My 18 8 speed is great.

Well, I do not want to jinx myself but my 2018 8 speed is very smooth and also has a really nice gear transition when manually shifting. When I use the tow mode it shifts at a little different pace but still very smooth.

Sorry, 8 speed.  Should have included that.

The pendulum torque converter is there specifically for dynamic fuel management. I would like to know what these enhancements are that are supposed to improve shift quality.
