Hello, everyone, this is my first post, so be gentle ....
Not sure the thread title makes sense, but I am hoping it will get someone's attention so that I can figure out what to do.
I have an issue with lurching and shuddering when coming to a stop. My guess is it is an engine control thing, but manifests itself in a number of ways. When I back it out of the garage first thing in the morning, it kind of pulsates, like maybe what you would experience with a warped rotor. Since the engine is at a modified idle and is not yet warmed up, this seems to be the best way to reproduce the problem reliably. If this was the only issue and it went away when warm, I could probably be talked into accepting it. However, sometimes it gets really bad, like when stopping for a traffic light, it will slow, downshift nice, then take a big jump. It happens seldom, so I understand how difficult it is to diagnose. It can be pretty unnerving when it happens and under the right conditions could cause an accident. I notice the same thing when up or downshifting (not the gear limiter). It manifests itself as a rough shift, but I am pretty sure it has a common cause. OK, so there you have it. Now I wait ....
