| Description of the problem | The transmission in my vehicle shudders between 1000 and 2000 rpm. It behaves worse at 1500rpm and when the weather is hot. I have to step on the gas and accelerate quickly to escape or avoid the shudder or have to completely let off the gas. It has shuddered so strongly that i have feared significant damage to the car while in motion. I also fear i will be in a situation where rapid acceleration or deceleration would be dangerous. |
