missing shaking or is Torque convertor that bad?

Hi everyone
I just bought a 2012 Tech TL 97k miles and I noticed on take off the car shudders vibrates at low rpm low gears low throttle. I see everyone says torque convertor software update and flush fluid 2-3 times to fix it. This is so bad makes me think its missing like plugs or something. Yes the tach blips/hunts also. I have extended warranty on it for 3 months 3k miles also from where I bought it. No check engine light on. I figure I will change plugs as its time regardless.

Do these have the issues with EGR Port clogging like earlier ones? This really feels like engine miss fire. Yes the trans feels weird but seems like 2 separate problems.

Thanks

This topic has been discussed over and over again (you could have used the search feature). Regardless, yes, try transmission drain and refill (3 drains/refills) and see if that helps. From the sounds of it, I believe you may need to have the torque converter replaced. You have until 105k miles to do so if you want Acura to cover the expense. As far as fluid goes, I've had a good experience with Red Line D6.
