shuddering when take foot of pedal

#1 07-22-2003, 10:04 PM

well i just got the svx back after a long 3 weeks waiting to have a wheel bearing fixed. soon after taking it out i noticed a shuddering in the car when i take my foot of the throttle. i don't know if this has anything to do with the new bearing or the transmission.( oh i hope to god it doesn't.) i was thinking of having the tranny serviced since i work at a dealership and it would be cheaper than most other places but i dont know if it will be necessary. everypenny counts when it comes to this car. help please i don't want to miss my baby again for another 3 or more weeks.

When does this occur? on the highway? all speed ranges? what gear? any gear? torque converter locked-up? trans warm or cold? any noise? Can you discribe the "shutter"?

the noise happens all the time, as far as i can tell. im guessing that the noise happens both warm and cold tranny temps. there is not really a noise but a soft rumble. i cant really describe it to you except that it sounds like a game controller for the playstation or something similiar that has the rumble on if you know what that feels like. thanks for any response.

Does it sound like something internal or could it be a suspension issue?

Does it come from the front or back?

Check the front U joint. That will shudder when foot is removed from gas if it is starting to get stiff.

my car seems to shudder a little when i let of the gas completely at around 60 MPH... it seems almost like when you are in a manual transmission car, and you're in second gear, and you let of the gas, how it kind of shudders a very tiny amount...
