Just hit 32K on my 2018 and the dreaded trans shudder shows up.

(yeah 32K, not 132K)
That is a lot to due to the Low Mileage
The 8 Speed Transmission runs cooler
All Transmission Fluid is Hygroscopic (Absorbs Water)
The Transmission Fluid in the 8 Speeds is prone to this

Since the Transmission does not get "Hot" to "Burn Off" the Condensation from the Fluid
It will develop the Shudder in the Torque Convertor since the Newer Torque Convertors are very Fluid Sensitive

Get the Transmission Flushed or Changed and it should improve

I had the Chevy dealer recommended triple flush done to the tranny. About $100-$200 less than a regular flush at independent shops. Results were fantastic. Cost was $339. Worth every penny.
 
2021 Chevy Colorado LT

68 miles

1997 S10 used for daily use
So Simple Math
Truck is now 5 Years Old (Model Year Wise)
So it is averaging just over a Mile Driven every Month?

67K on my 2019 2wd Colorado with the 2.5L 4 cylinder and 6 speed manual. So far so good. Fuel economy went down a little bit (0.3 MPG less average) since I took off the front air dam to get better ground clearance, but not enough to worry about it and put it back on the truck.
