Some Chevrolet Camaro owners report experiencing issues related to a faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM), which can lead to harsh shifting, failure to shift gears, or the vehicle entering "limp mode," a safety feature that restricts driving until the problem is resolved. These problems arise because the TCM, which works with other components to optimize gear shifts based on vehicle speed and load, may not function correctly. Furthermore, owners should be aware that replacing the TCM often requires accessing the transmission valve body, necessitating the removal of the transmission pan. It is recommended that owners consult a qualified mechanic or transmission specialist for proper diagnosis and repairs when a diagnostic test indicates the need for a transmission computer replacement.
