Been a while fella's but I'm back.For quite some time, I've dealt with a shudder when warm problem for a long time. Chalked it up to failing trans,so she was used as a work car less than 2 miles both ways. Replaced everything recommended to no avail. Well, found my fix. This is what I did and she runs waaay better. 1.bottle of engine flush 1.bottle of seafoam 6.quarts synthetic Oil was fairly clean to start so I removed a quart n a half,poured in seafoam n flush,let it run for twenty minutes then spiked idle speed up in bursts every 2 min for another 20 minutes. As car was running noticed it getting quieter and the faint miss seemed to go away. Drained and filled started up and went for a spin, and no more shudders!!! :bowrofl: Hated pulling off from stop signs because the steering wheel and seats would vibrate like crazy. Will be doing oil changes every couple of weeks to keep what ever was stuck or plugged clear.

Quick update... This was done last week still smooth takeoffs. It also seemed to stop power surging when on gas,now delivery is smoother through out.
