If your TC is shuddering, it's past fixing. you can bandaid it by tuning out the slip tables, or use the proper fluid, but once it starts, it is never the same. you'll also need to keep the car out of v4 mode because it's tuned to allow more slip to alleviate the pulsing inherent with that mode.

All in all, you need the new converter, the new fluid, zeroed out slip tables, and keep your car out of v4 mode to get rid of it for sure. You can *possibly* use a combination of these and never see it again, but it's not proven as nobody has had enough miles to show anything of it just yet.

I had the shudder, and 2 triple flushes later it was still there. My car was supposedly made with the new converter and fluid from the factory due to the build date.

I currently have almost 6k on a new TC, with new fluid. I've not let my car see V4 mode since the new tc, and the shudder isn't there at all. crossed fingers. knock on wood. etc.
