Not sure. Never had the problem. Or if I did, I've never noticed it.

What I'd like to know is how you're supposed to upload a snapshot of a torque converter judder

Interesting observation in looking at the TSB's details. There's a list of parts required if they need to do the tear-down work. In that list, they indicate as an oil filter 15400-PLM-A01 . Seems very interesting to me they specifiy the Filtech version of the filter, rather than the -A02 version that has been the default choice for the last decade or so....... Hmm.....

Generally if holding a steady throttle while going up a slight hill you'll feel a judder, and see the rpms jumping up and down just a hundred or so rpms. Flushing the ATF and updating the software has fixed like 98% of the issues that I've seen.

ok so is this in addition to the previous recall for the airbags last year? Or just a reminder TSB from the orhginal TAKATA issue. because on the Acura site when I put in the VIN for my 2012 TL (which is listed in the new TSB) it says no recall repair required.
