I believe that your shudder problem may be a problem with your lock up torque convertor. When your transmission has shifted into final gear and is no longer under accelleration or deceleration your torque convertor should lock up. If the lock up is not being applied properly of your torque convertor is damaged you may experience a shudder during the lock up transition. You should be able to initiate lock up on and off by accelerating and coasting to see if this is when it occurs. I have put 45000km's on my '94 Transport since it was given to me because of this prob. If you can live with the annoyance it shoudn't damage anything else and you'll save some cash. Good Luck. ==Another Option == Twice I was told by a transmission mechanic that my shuddering was due to bad plug wires. He showed me this by power braking the car and having the engine get "rough" at certain RPMs. Changed the plugs and the wires, voila`, the back ones are a pain in the butt!
being low on fluid
Could be lots of causes, but most likely either rear differential issue or torque converter shudder in automatic transmission, though Ford is not nearly as common to have transmission shudder as a Chrysler is. Mine was the rear differential. (98, 5.4l). Mine was most pronounced when accelerating around a corner. Transmission shudder would most likely show up on acceleration at any time.
Take off shudder is most commonly caused by one of three things. Broken motor mounts, a broken transmission mount, or bad u joints will all cause the shudder.
could be a bad motor or transmission mount
ive had a couple of work trucks over the years which started to shudder. both needed auto transmission work.
my best guess is bad gas causing pinging ,that feels like a rumble/shudder. similar effect at 60mph. Watch where you buy your gas and see if the problem correlates
Slipping , slow to move, won't move, shudder, chatter, all are damaging to transmission.
A bad transmount or transfer case .
ATF+3 or ATF+4 should only be used to prevent transmission/torque converter shudder.
GENERALLY, WHEN A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN YOU ARE ACCELERATING, IT IS ONE OF THE INSIDE CV JOINTS THAT IS OUT. THERE ARE DRIVE SHAFTS THAT COME OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION, AND THEY HAVE BOOTS ON THE INSIDE CLOSE TO THE TRANSMISSION, AND BOOTS ON THE OUTSIDE CLOSE TO THE WHEELS. THE INSIDE BOOTS AND JOINTS TEND TO SHUDDER UPON ACCELERATION WHEN THEY ARE OUT. HOPE THIS HELPS.
I shudder when I see spiders.
