If Shudder Occurs After TCC has Locked
Engine problems may go unnoticed under light throttle and load, but they become noticeable after the TCC has locked when going up a hill or accelerating.
Refer to Symptoms - Engine Controls , (2.0L) or Symptoms - Engine Controls (LUK) (2.4L) in order to avoid misdiagnosis of TCC shudder and the unnecessary disassembly of a transmission or the unnecessary replacement of a torque converter.
