Default Concerned about a shudder when engine is turned off...........

About 1/2 the time the engine is shut off, it shudders. I can't tell if it is like a dieseling problem or if something is loose. Anyone experience anything similar? I want to bring it to the dealers attention asap in case it turns out to be something serious. Thanks in advance.

engine mount :confused: try and hold the brake and gently hit the gas without letting the car move do you hear a clunk at all ? if so could be a mount. what year is your car also if it is brand new they it wouldnt be a mount. It is a powerful engine and you cna hear when it stops turning could jsut be normal, DOH! sorry I wasn't much help but will keep this up top at least for a tech :seeya :chevy

Need more information. If it's a 6 speed, the shudder is normal, and can be avoided by pressing the clutch in while shutting the engine.

I agree with allanlaw....if its a 6 speed....its normal. I have the MN6 and have the same shudder/rattle. Just keep the clutch in when turning off the ignition and everything should be fine. :jester
