    I have a 2015 Tacoma which shudders and vibrates between 35-45 mph. (It ONLY does it between 35-45 mph)

    It is sporadic......... it doesn't happen all the time, its occasionally. It seems to happen to more frequently going up hill

    I read a lot of threads on this site talked about the "Transmission Vibration/shudder issue".......and it seems like I have a bad torque converter causing it.

    So, I took it to my local Toyota Dealership today and the technician took it out for a test drive and that what he thinks it is too. The technician wants me to drop it off to confirm it.


    Apparently, its been an issue with certain Tacoma's, there is a TSB on some Tacoma's on the Transmission vibration/shudder issue

    I've heard that normally replacing the torque converter and doing a Transmission flush & fill usually corrects the problem.

    According to what I read it, it could be also be the following:


    · Sticky solenoid/defective sensor or malfunctioning converter which keeps it engaged longer at lower rpms causing the problem


    · Rear-end's LSD, worn u-joints, bad drive-train mounts, (engine & trans mounts) etc.


    · Also recommended, to drain & fill transmission fluid.


    · Other factors, defective Drive shaft.


    Can you let me know if you had this vibration/shudder issue and what repair you got done that fixed it!!! I would like to hear how you got your vibration/shudder to go away/what repairs finally fixed it?


    THANK YOU
