Harts_94VR, sorry for the lack of reply. I don't always get e-mail notifications, and I didn't for this one.
The Shudder is mainly rpm based.
And can you also tell me what this magic fluid is you are mentioning?
If it doesn't do any damage, i migh try it.
But the tcc makes sense, as on highway trips, eg: 100kph or over, in cruise mode, it will sometimes sort of bang, like either the engine has missed a beat or two. Maybe it's the converter stuffing up. But it does it at random. All fine for an hour, then 2 or 3 of these misses/bangs (not really a "bang") in a few minutes, then fine again for another hour.
Bloody annoying.

Wow, your problem doesn't sound like anything that's good for the blood pressure.

Doesn't sounds like the one I had though...

The fluid I got was Lucas Transmission Fix, it's in a white bottle, I think it was about $16 from Repco. It has smoothed out the shifts and reduced the normal vibration that the old girl had. Definitely has helped the slipping torque converter clutch too.
