1994 Buick Regal "shudders" while driving/ won't always up-shift

'94 Regal with automatic transmission has what appears to be a shudder in the drive train (not a vibration in the chassis). It is noticeable at any speed over 20 mph but is worse near 50 mph. It's not all the time but very frequently. Worse in Drive but it also occurs in 3rd and 2nd gears. Cruise control on/off has no effect.

Maybe related - after accelleration (passing or getting on highway) where transmission downshifts, it doesn't always upshift when returning to a constant speed. Slowing the vehicle or shifting out of Drive into Neutral or 3rd has no impact. After 10 seconds to 2 minutes it may upshift on gear than another delay before getting back to highest gear. Happens at all speeds more frequently at highway speeds. Cruise control on/off has no effect.

Any help is appreciated.

SOURCE: Power Steering pump appears to be leaking but is full????

Just guessing. Could it be a warped brake disk? That would cause vibration. And vibration in steering might conceivably cause splashing out the power steering reservoir. You would know if the disk were warped by a shudder when you brake at hight speeds.

SOURCE: transmission on 1995 Buick Century, slipping badly

Sir I would first change my filter. When you do you should be able to acertain if anything is wrong by what yuo find in your pan. I think your clutchs are probably bad, but with out being able to scan it I don't have any other ideas. I have been lucky a couple of time before and changing the filter solved my problem. Your car is in limp mode generally you have reverse and second gear. 1st gear and reverse use the same clutches, so I am wondering if maybe you have second gear only!

SOURCE: Car shudders when accelerating...

My wife's 02 Audi A4 1,8t had the same problem after talking with Audi (coil pack/spark plugs) we replaced them all and the problem still persisted not to say that won't fix your problem but what I found to be the problem was 3/8 vacuum line (shaped like a S) that comes up on the right hand side between the oil filter and the fire wall that comes from the turbo check valve assembly (its hard to locate and should be done with the engine cool) up to a valve assembly that connects to the intake manifold, what was happening was the hose would become spongy at the bottom (you will have to squeeze the hose from top to bottom to notice the difference) and as the engine heats up it would cause the hose to collapse. Once I replaced the hose and the computer reprogrammed the fuel mixture (about 25 miles of driving) the problem seems to have been correct. Good luck.I had also replaced the turbo check valve about three years ago because of a severe hesitation when you first apply gas (turbo check valve may not be the proper name.) Sorry.

What could be causing my car to shudder or shake intermittently when it is in gear?

Have someone check your transmission fluid level. Probably low, so the shifting up and down is compromised.

Transmission shuders at 40mph to 60mph

could be a tranny problem developing but cheap checks include checking uni joints or cv joints for looseness. Check rear bush of tranny for sloppy slip joint fitting ( rear drive only) lift tail shaft up and down. any movement allows an out of line tail shaft to occue hence the shudder.Check the color of the tranny oil Should be a bright cherry red. Any other color ( brownish red - tan) indicates possible tranny fault

I have a 1994 Lincoln Mark Vlll.when it shifts into 4th gear,it starts to **** when I press on the gas lightly

Replace transmission filter and fluid. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE FILTER. 11 IN LBS MAX. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING IN THE VALUE BODY.

1996 Ford Thunderbird LX V8 Automatic Transmission shudder

Check rear emergency brakes if you have 4 wheel discs. When soot and brake lining fall to bottom of assembly they jam and shudder until wheels start rolling fast enough to scatter debris.

Also if posi equipped there is a needed rear-end additive to help clutch plates work. Perhaps clean rear-end lube and additive is needed.

2000 Buick Lesabre When I am driving, not always, but getting more often. The car jerks or shudders like it is shifting gears. It does not die and have not had problems with stalling or anything like...

Without being able to drive it, it is hard to give you a good diagnosis. But I have replaced Pressure control solonoids on a few GM cars with a shudder. or TCC soloniods depending on when the shudder occurs.

Car shudders when the transmission shifts gears-its an automatic

You can check your motor mounts. They can cause your engine to shudder. With the hood open, have someone shift into drive and watch the motor. If it rocks severely more than likely your motor and/or transmission mounts are broken or ate bad.
