What would cause a transmission to shudder?
However, the primary cause of a shuddering transmission is simply contaminated transmission fluid. When the fluid in a transmission becomes dirty and contaminated, the particles in the fluid prevent it from building up enough pressure in the transmission lines. As a result, the transmission will begin to shudder.
Does transmission fluid fix shudder?
Yes, changing transmission fluid or performing a transmission flush will help fix most torque converter shudder problems. However, If you let your torque converter shudder for too long you might have to rebuild or replace it.
Why is my torque converter shuddering?
If you feel a tremble when driving around 30 to 45 miles an hour this could be an indication that your torque converter is going bad.

Why does the rear end of my Toyota Tundra Shudder?

What kind of vibration does a Toyota Tundra have?
I have a 2010 Tacoma with a vibration that is subtle but there at 90-110km/h. No change in 4WD, swapped prop shaft, swapped with brand new rims and tires from a new truck, even a l/r axle assembly.
What causes a shudder in a torque converter?
Torque converters don’t shudder, they’re nothing more than a turbine with fluid rushing through them. The shudder is caused by friction. The only things that involve friction in the whole drive line are differentials and transmission.
