Intermittant 'Shudder'

[Gavins]

Yesterday I experienced an intermittant shudder while driving at constant speed, symptoms were:

 

- was doing constrant speed on level road

- car appeared to shudder like trying to change gear however only briefly happened

- no warning lights came on 

- done ~95K miles

Questions:

- Anyone experienced similar

- is it worth changing gearbox oil

 

thanks in advance

Hi Gavins,

 

Worth changing gearbox fluid. is the shudder constant still? When was the last wheel alignment done?

I had a shudder caused by the tie end rods once they were replaced it stopped.

Gavins, my shuddering issue was caused by a extremely dirty MAF sensor.  problem prevalent especially in hilly situations.  CEL would turn on most times though.   I thought it might have been a bad CVT, and did a drain and fill of the fluid. ANSEL JP700 code reader gave fuel system related warning (i have a long post on this forum).

 

replaced MAF and issue went away.
