Do you mean 1500rpm?
My new, as of last saturday, '94 Q45 just started having a shudder of its own under 1500rpm today. Except mine has no maintenance history,(as in its never been serviced, not lack of records), .
Mine started just after the tank dropped below half, but hadn't reached the quarter mark on the gauge yet.
