But how Read More September 14, Your car shudders almost as if it's caught the flu and has a temperature. But this shuttering is not caused by a disease. A malfunctioning torque converter can have a shudder that comes from the transmission.
The slipping occurs while you're driving or changing gears, and it usually comes with some odd noises too. Remember, a torque converter is a coupler between the engine and transmission. Its job is to smoothly convert engine torque into hydraulic pressure that your transmission uses to engage and shift gears. When the torque converter starts malfunctioning, you may feel shuddering and even slipping in overdrive.
You usually notice your car shuddering because it feels like it's vibrating. The shuddering makes the car lag and is very noticeable. Some vehicles have a transmission temperature indicator that will let you know when your car's transmission is overheating. If your car transmission keeps overheating, you may also notice your transmission starts to act funny, or it may even go into fail date and stay in one gear and not shift at all.
When the two problems are combined, it could mean your torque converter is failing. The end result is the torque converter isn't able to transfer that power completely and efficiently from the engine to the transmission. Being a fluid coupler, your car's torque converter relies on transmission fluid to operate correctly. If the fluid becomes contaminated, anything that uses and relies on the fluid can be damaged.
Contaminated transmission fluid can cause damage to your converter parts and your transmissions parts. Torque converter seals can get damaged for several reasons.
But once they are damaged, you will experience fluid leaks. When you experience fluid leaks, you aren't retaining the amount of transmission fluid; the torque converter needs to transfer the power from the engine to the transmission. This will cause damage to both the transmission and the converter. Your first course of action, if you notice your transmission or torque converter has started to slip or shudder is checking your fluid level.
You can't be sure the slipping or shuddering has anything to do with your torque converter until you check your fluid levels.
