After changing the transmission fluid, checkind all joints, etc., my mechanic noted that a tire was the wrong size! This tire is one I had replaced less than a month ago. An honest mistake, surely. However, this mistake cost quite a bit of time and money to put right. In addition, I did not drive the car for over three weeks due to the shudder caused by the incorrect tire.

I'm going to try to get the tire retailer to give me my money back for the tire, at least. I doubt that ant further compensation will be offered.

So, thank you to those who offered advice. I really appreciated it. I am now driving my 92, 20,000 mile beauty and really enjoying it. It will go back into storage in 3 weeks; I am leaving Canada for a posting overseas at that time.

Again, thanks for the help.
Let's hope the missized tire didn't cause any tranny damage. It is a MAJOR NO-NO to have mismatched tires on an all wheel drive vehicle. Glad you found the problem, though.
