Perform Steps 1-6 and 8-10 for vehicles that are not normally operated in stop-and-go traffic, areas of high ambient temperatures and humidity or the
previously listed states. If you have questions regarding the vehicle operating parameters, call the Transmission Hotline.
1.
Perform normal diagnosis and repair of all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) prior to continuing with the following Steps.
2.
Verify concern. Torque converter shudder occurs during 3rd or 4th gear under light to moderate acceleration. If vibration or shudder occurs only
in 1st or 2nd gear, or when brakes are applied, then it is not torque converter shudder.
NOTE
RESIDUAL FLUID IN THE SYSTEM (CONVERTER COOLERS AND LINES) WILL CAUSE SHUDDER TO RETURN.
3.
Drain all transmission fluid including the torque converter. Completely drain the cooler and cooler lines. Refer to the appropriate model/year
Service Manual, Section 07-01, for more details.
4.
Remove the transmission pan and clean the pan and magnet.
5.
Inspect the transmission gasket and filter. Reuse the pan gasket and filter if they are not damaged.

Reinstall the transmission filter, pan gasket, and pan.
