    Manual / Auto / Under load / rolling in neutral / what about reverse... you know a little more info than "My car Shudders..." & "What's wrong?"

    It's auto and it starts to shudder when I take off and it won't stop until the car stops. I didn't get any engine lights at all when it happened

    could it be fouled leads / plugs? That usually causes a shuddering and gets worse the faster you go.

    Probably the Gearbox mount is stuffed. Would also be looking at the Engine mounts.
    If it's not a Symptom its not relevant, and if its not relevant I don't care!

    id say itd more likely to be center bearing or gearbox mount if its really bad theres more than one uni jint in the tailshaft check to see if the seals are gone if so uni either rooted or will be soon . Pull the shaft out and check the uni center bearing if you dont know what your doing take it to a decent mechanic and ask for his opinion
