Dickensheets Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Did a search on 4eat shuddering straight ahead on takeoff. Found a few threads on this. Someone mentioned using an anti-shudder additive to de-varnish the internals. Anyone else tried this? btw - 97 obw 4eat, 108,000 miles. rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I'd go for the system flush first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuddering going straight ahead is indicative of mis matched tires. Check your tires, make sure they are all inflated the same. make sure they are the same age and size. Put the FWD fuse in and see if it goes away. If it goes away then do a flush. If it doesnt we may have to trouble shoot it a bit deeper. NEVER use anything that is going to de-gum the transmission (or any part of the driveline for that matter). That gum is helping to hold the seals together. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
