Shudder from torque converter?
Do any of you guys with an aftermarket torque converter experience a shudder once the car hits the 5000-6000 RPM range after nailing it while going around 60 MPH? I don't know if there is something wrong with my computer programming or this is a strange side effect of the different torque converter. If I nail it at a lower MPH and stay in it, this problem does not appear to happen. If any of you have a shift kit, Yank SS3200 with 3.42 gears please chime in.

You can find out about this problem on Yanks web site. TC Shudder is actually the convertor clutch locking and unlocking numerous times per second causing it to "shudder". It does say that sometimes this can be rectified with a different fluid. I have not had this problem, although I had a Transmission componet slipping code that I have not had time to get back to the tuner to address!
