Subject:
5AT Torque Converter Shudder/Vibration
Introduction
If you encounter a vehicle that has a shudder/vibration which could be felt in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear during slight acceleration, it may be caused by the
transmission torque converter during lockup operation. A countermeasure was made to the final machining process of the sliding surface for the lock up
clutch to provide more stabilization and eliminate the shudder/vibration.
Countermeasure in Production
The countermeasure torque converters were used in production as shown above.
