Why does my car shudder when going uphill?
Q: Car shudders when accelerating and going uphill, seems like a loss of power, particularly around 1500 rpms. When I’m accelerating sometimes my car will shudder or shake, seems like it’s coming from the engine area. It happens more often when I’m traveling uphill, but it sometimes happens in regular conditions.
What causes a shudder in a torque converter?
A torque converter shudder vibration may be induced by the torque converter clutch in normal driving mode (with an expected TCC slip amount) and is most often due to TCC friction material/ATF degradation).
When do you get a shudder in your car?
Transmission shudders seem worse than they actually are. Shudders occur most often when shifting into overdrive or when in overdrive and going up a slight incline.
What to do when your F150 shakes and shudders?
Replace joints by removing the bolts and nuts from the end of the drive shaft, then remove the shaft itself. The joints will remain attached to the drive shaft. Spray WD-40 on the joints at the end. After you have removed the U-joints, clean up the ends until they are nice and shiny.
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.
What kind of car loses power at highway speed?
2003Nissan Altima 2.5s…. while driving at highway speed {60} the car lost all power and died and all dash lights went off. A second or two later all the lights on the dash and headlights as well as radio came back on. I tried to put it in neutral and restart it while it was coasting but the starter wont engage to try and start motor.
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.
