Weird Shudder/Vibration
#11
I'll bet it's torque convertor shudder. You need a convertor. On my 01 it shook so bad the dash vibrated. When you let off the throttle the convertor unlocks. I knew my tranny had been rebuilt a few years earlier so I bought a single billet convertor and installed it myself. Problem solved. Don't waste money on a stock convertor, they were marginal stock, and with any programmer at all they will fail.

Suncoast makes a good convertor. I found tons on ebay, but ended up finding one out of Calgary for $600ish. Just search 47re convertor. Most tranny shops won't want to just replace your convertor. Make sure you replace the front seal and check the flexplate for cracks and flush your cooler lines when they are unhooked from tranny. Lastly set your bands, and put a new filter in the pan. Pull your pan first and make sure there's no chunks, otherwise just rebuild the entire unit.
