    Violent shake/shudder when downshifting/overtaking

    Thanks for the info Boose, just out of curiosity how much did the converter replacement cost and also the transmission? I've just noticed that everything seems to be fine provided that the gear change happens under 4000rpm, so normal change/ moving a little quick. Also there seems to be no...

    Violent shake/shudder when downshifting/overtaking

    Yeah its got about 141000miles on the clock, i'm sure the transmission oil was changed within the last year at the dealer but i'm not sure of the exact date. There are plenty of garages out here that can do it for a reasonable price. But the skill level of those guys are not good, like i...

    Violent shake/shudder when downshifting/overtaking

    Not As far as i Know lol i was thinking that as i do sit in traffic everyday for at least an hour, i try my best to keep it in neutral but most of the time it's in drive with my foot on the brake. The odd thing is it only seems to happen when it downshifts by 2 gears, dropping one gear...

Then after about a second or 2 in went back to...

But i've checked the power steering and trans oil and both seem fine so i think it must be from the ac. It was running a little warm the other day but after a recharge, it...

Now it does get hot out here but i thought this was a little strange, so i looked behind the grill and there was a load of oil covering the radiator and of course a...

    hi guys, just a little back story first. So i was getting knocking sounds from the front passenger side suspension and a squeaking noise when going over bumps. I knew it was most likely the bushing that had to be replaced as I've had the same issue on another car before, and i recognised the...
