$40k launch shudder
#11
How severe was your issue? I have always suspected my launch shudder was related to the torque convertor. Mine is different than the other shudders, in that it only slightly pulses about 3-4 times, in the first few feet of travel. It doesn't vary with load, and never does it beyond a few feet. My truck also takes a few seconds to move in drive, after it sits a few days. Some say that is normal, but no auto trans I have driven over many years, has ever needed time to engage, and simply slip, unless it was low on fluid.
