Shudder Condition

A vehicle equipped with a 1984 through 1986 THM 440-T4 transaxle may experience a shudder condition which may be described as similar to driving
over rough pavement. This condition may be the result of various engine and/or transaxle-related causes.

Before diagnosing for a transaxle-related shudder condition, make sure the condition is not engine-related.

FIGURE 5 - SHUDDER DIAGNOSIS CHART

Refer to the chart (Figure 5) for diagnosis information and potential causes. When performing any service procedure, refer to the appropriate Service
Manual.
