Let it idle for another 30 seconds or so and feel a slight clunk and then the car will move. Talked with a mechanic about it and he felt that the fluid was draining out of the converter and it needed time for the pump to fill it back up. Ok Maybe...

Yesterday I am getting off of the freeway and come to a stop at the end of the offramp, I step on the gas and the rpm's shoot up and no movement of the car. I rev it again, feel the clunk, and off I go. Same thing happened today.

Trans was serviced about 4 months ago, fluid level good and color good.

I too get the trans shudder on takeoff as well.

This car was great until at about 95,000 miles, I started having multiple issues. Car now has 121,000 miles.

Items replaced in the last 2 years:

ECM/PCM
Crankshaft Sensor
Camshaft Sensor
TPS
O2 Sensor
Motor Mounts
Plugs/Wires

Thanks in advance.

Jack

When you get the shudder does the front end of your car bounce up and down?
