    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...
