Re: 1997 Lumina Accelerating Problem

I'm leanin' toward torque convertor shudder on this too. Try using a lower gear range (i.e. "drive" instead of "OD" ) when it starts to occur. If the problem is shudder, the change in load/gear range should get it out of lockup threshold, and make it stop trying to do it, at least temporarily. You need to get it diagnosed, though. If let go, it can destroy yor convertor, and ultimately the tranny. Hard on driveline parts, too.
