My 2003 has 68k miles on it and the transmission shudders when shifting.
At some point, I'd like to follow the most likely (proven) path to resolution.
But, there seems to be great disagreement in what that path is. There are threads pointing to:
1. Improper fluid level (over-full.)
2. Blown seals inside transmission.
3.
PCM (is this the "computer"?) or just a control module for the tranny?
4. Transmission is in need of a rebuild. (at 68k?)
5. Computer "lost" it's shifting history and has to re-establish it over time.
Does anyone have a more definitive answer - that would likely be the culprit in my case (68k miles), shudder, etc.?
I would not want to be the 1000th one to have the transmission rebuilt - only to find it didn't fix the problem.
Other than the shudder, it drives fine.
