Gday all. I've searched the forums for "shudder" and only found posts about a consistent shudder at low revs. I've got something different.
I've got an 03 VY wagon and the issue, that my mechanic doesn't really understand and the car yard won't admit is an issue, is a brief shudder (exactly like driving over a short cattle grid) when I start the engine and drive about 10 metres. To replicate I have to switch off the ignition, start the engine again and drive 10m. Not enough to just stop the car and move off again, have to kill and restart the engine. And it happens every time. My mechanic thought maybe it was the torque converter but car yard don't agree and reckon every VY has it. I can't believe this, it feels so bloody wrong. You can feel it from the passenger seat as well. Can't really tell where it comes from, just feels like a cattle grid.
I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has any experience or ideas with this issue. Thanks a lot.
