This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Chevrolet dealer.
The transmission shifts very hard between first and second gears, I've been involved the mechanic work for more then 40 years. I started my career as an Auto machinist so I know a problem where I see or hear one, and this is going to lead to a real failure. The Chevrolet dealer says there is a bulletins on this problem but no fix. They flushed the system and changed the transmission fluid to synthetic at a cost of $275.00. The problem is still existing. This is clearly a wide spread problem effecting hundreds of people across the country. I've been a Chevy man since 1978 but a poorly designed transmission will cause even the most dedicated costumer to drive a Ram.

Jerks when shifting in low speeds at first, then sporadically and at various speeds. Also screen goes black, or blue, or sketches out in reverse. Dealer replaced TCM as well as screen. As I was driving through the dealership - before I even exited - it jerked again. Speed less than 5 mph. Scary if going through neighborhoods and it catches you off-guard.

Brand new 2019 LT Silverado. Shakes / Shudders when shifting. Especially at light / gradual acceleration - first to second, second to third.
Sometimes shifting is VERY VERY hard, especially in lower gears.
Annoying! Many many other complaints out there for the same condition.
Hard acceleration seems to shift fine, but who wants to "gun it" all the time?

It's very annoying to be paying for a new truck and it doesn't run as it did when you test drove it. Well here I am 6 months into the truck and it jerks, seems like a transmission problem.

Transmission jerks shifting from 1st to 2nd every morning. Some days it's a minor bump, other days it makes the entire vehicle jerk/jump like its been spurred.
