    Hey Team Tacoma,
    2016 TRD Off Road with 33" tires, I have developed a "shudder" during slow acceleration between 15 and 21 mph. Typically only when I am in stop & go traffic. It does not occur with quicker acceleration, only in traffic with the slow acceleration. Any ideas what this could be? One person told me it could possible be the torque converter. I do have Toyota's Lifetime warranty on the drivetrain so I am hoping they will honor it since I have the 33s, and the "Taco Sauce Only" sticker on the gas cap door.

    Mine did the shudder at about 30mph in 3rd slow acceleration not at all at harder acceleration. mine is a 2016 off road auto. It had 82000 miles on it at the time. The dealer flushed Trans, did not cure it at all. Ended up being the Torque Converter. now have 99500 miles and so far, so good.23722495_1488685847863851_5069235961566495388_n.jpg

    Did you lift the rear suspension? Did the problem start after that? If you did lift, did you check for proper driveline and pinion angles?
