Shudder@ 25-30mph in high gear

[MrWilson]

This mornin i got a little shudder that i mistook for a miss...i didnt catch what was going on but i got it again this evening. When she is cold im drivin through my neighborhood and @abt 25-30mph in 2nd gear? @ realy low rpms im getting this quick agressive shudder. i was hoping whatever it is may be help me pinpoint what my codes were comming from before. when she warmed up i pressed her a little bit to see if i could get the cel to pop up, but i couldnt . any thoughts?

I had the exact same problem before and my situation was resolved from "clocking" the MAF sensor. I'm sure you know about this but that just sounds so much like my problem I couldn't resist to reply.

i dont nessissarly think that would be my problem...didnt you have an aftermarket MAF? If that were to be my problem, i would assume itwould be a result of the maf being rotated in the first place, which it wasnt.

Torque converter shudder...

Torque converter shudder...

...i dont nessissarly think so...my trans fluid is good.

I'm sure you've probably changed your plug wires.
And if you know the trans fluid is good, I'd suspect it's the torque converter too.

Dont you have an LMS built trans with a 2400 stall converter? Take it to the shop and see if you can get them to help diagnose the problem.

I was gonna say, Thats an LMS trans, Geno should be able to help ya.

I just started getting something similar, seems to be around the shift point, I suspect the Nuetral Safety Switch (I belive it's "TLPS"), I just changed it about three months ago to cure a random downshift at cruise speeds, so now I'm wondering if it may be an adjustment...
*(Ok, I did a search, and it sounds like the T C)

When cold mine shudders too. Let your car warm up before you drive it anyway. As soon as mine warms up it's fine.

 

[devilchild]

if it sounds like you're driving over those highway rumble strips for a sec... mine does that too but only when it hasn't been driven in a while ( a week or two ).. but once it goes a few miles that quick shudder disappears until the car sits again

Geno, why do your trannies shudder when cold, if I may ask? I've never heard of an aftermarket tranny in good shape doing that. Nor an OEM one for that matter.
