What to do when your torque converter shudders?
Transmissions can shudder in a very similar manner to torque converters. To determine whether the shudder is tranny or TC related, run your vehicle for a little while till it begin to shudder and immediately park it. With your foot on the brake, put the transmission in Drive, and apply light throttle.
Why does my Jeep have a constant Shudder?
I’ve had the torque converter replaced twice (the second time the TC was in pieces spread throughout the tranny) I’ve had the software applied twice as well. My vehicle is so uncomfortable to ride in as the shuddering is constant.
When does the transmission shudder in a jeep?
Was smooth when new and slowly started feeling what felt like a mild miss under light acceleration, the worst being when going up slight grades. Got worse up to about 30000KM and seemed to level off to where it is now.
When does a torque converter need to be replaced?
Unless there is physical damage to the converter or transmission, shudder is a fairly easy problem to solve. Once the transmission fluid has been overheated enough times, it becomes permanently de-polymerized and need to be replaced.
What makes a torque converter shudder at low speed?
Torque Converter Shudder Problems. A torque converter is the fluid coupling between an engine and transmission that allows the engine to idle at low speed without engaging the transmission. A torque converter uses an engine-driven turbine (fan) to push fluid through a matching turbine attached to the transmission.

Why does my Honda CRV shudder at 40 mph?
While driving between 30 and 40 mph, the vehicle vibrated. However, when the vehicle accelerated past 40 mph, the vibration disappeared. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 71,800.
Why does my Toyota Camry shudder when accelerating?
This happened to the vehicle repeatedly and under 1000 miles on the odometer. Upon acceleration the car hesitates and after a few seconds if will finally go with a jerking to the passengers. It also has a problem accelerating on the highway, it seems to lack the power to pass anyone when in traffic.
When do you feel the shudder in your car?
The shudder vibration may be noticed mostly during light throttle acceleration of 30-64 mph (48-104 km/h) during steady state driving with the transmission not actively shifting gears. It also may feel like driving over rough pavement or rumble strips.
How can I tell if my torque converter has a shudder?
To confirm TCC shudder, the vibration concern must be present in normal operation, but not present with the torque converter clutch disabled or with the torque converter clutch locked. Also perform a TCC slip control test. If TCC shudder is present, a vibration peak will appear at approximately 43Hz +/-3Hz. (Fig.
What causes shuddering shaking from take off through 1st gear?
Q: Shuddering shaking from take off through 1st and 2nd gear. What can cause this? I just bought the car and I’m scared I was ripped. I just bought the car yesterday.
What’s the vibration frequency of a TCC Shudder?
If TCC shudder is present, a vibration peak will appear at approximately 43Hz +/-3Hz. (Fig. 18) If the vibration frequency follows engine, tire, or driveshaft speed, then it is not a TCC shudder vibration. An alternative diagnostic for TCC shudder is to road test the vehicle and monitor commanded and actual TCC slip speeds.
