Default 2017 Camaro 1LT transmission problems?

I own a 2017 Camaro 1LT 2.0 Turbo and the transmission really stutters and kicks when accelerating between 1-2k RPM. It’s super annoying as I have to baby the gas pedal so it doesn’t kick but I can’t stop the stuttering. It mostly happens when the transmission fluid is still relatively “cold” and stops after I’ve been driving for a while.

I took it to Chevy last week and had a mechanic go on a test drive to feel the problem and the damn problem wouldn’t happen since the transmission was very warm so he told me there’s nothing to do.

I also really feel the gears shifting when between the 1-4 gears but that’s not much of an annoyance.

Has anyone else experienced this? What could I do? Thank you!

Unfortunately the 8-Speed transmission in your vehicle has become a major issue.

So much that if your vehicle were slightly newer; GM would have bought the car back from you.

8 speed is puke
GM deemed it a total failure and so has the aftermarket as far as I can tell.

I just went for a ride in a 2019 Corvette GS.
The eight speed transmission shifted wonderful with a crisp full throttle shift.
Low mileage car. But this is the first complaint I have read of.
