First thing to try with a shuddering trans is to just replace the tranny
mount. Check your motor mounts as well. If everything is shifting around a
little here and there, your driveline angle can get just a little off,
combine that with U-joints that probably aren't brand new and an intermitten
shudder is very likely.
