Yea it’s a real thing honest!!! The clutch in the torque converter glazes up, which causes the judder as it try’s to lock. The ‘fluid’ helps to make it grip. Ideally a new torque converter is needed but this makes a huge difference.Did think about keeping it but we have to many vehicles!
Thanks for the advice about the fluctuation, but not sure I want to Google 'Dr Tranny'
).
Good job you bought it or I would have! Put some dr tranny in it. Dead easy as you just squirt it in the trans cooler line at the front. Stops it almost immediately and can sort it for a good while.Just a quick word in praise of @Lee2495, I acquired this vehicle and it is all and more that he said it is.
We had a chat and I explained that I'd be getting to him on the train and driving it back, what does he think my chances of getting back are, fine he says, no worries, I am using it daily with no concerns at all.
He was right, I collected it earlier this week (he went out of his way to meet me at a train station that was a little closer to home for me), I got in and drove it the 204 miles to home without a hitch.
It does have the torque converter 'shudder' which he was very honest about but it also has loads of service history, loads of receipts, and as he said, everything does work (although I have not tried the TVs yet, if they work I will stand hanging
Cheers @Lee2495, it is a cracker, thank your all your help.
