Hey guys
I got this old comanche running like a top. One thing it keeps doing is a bad shudder when coming to a stop. Between 5-0 mph. The shudder goes away with it in oneutral. Any thoughts on what it can be? U joint, torque convertor, or maybe a tranny or engine mount??? Thanks guys

 

I forgot to mention that it runs perfect when accelerating. Only when im coming to a stop

 

I'd start there.

 

Engine and trans?

 

Isn't there a switch (a white one) on the brake pedal that disengages the TC? I might check that it, and it's wires are OK.

 

I thought the white one with the electrical fitting and vacuum fitting was for cruise control only...........

 

i have this same issue on my 99 cherokee

im curious too what it is...my motor mounts are fine..not sure on the trans

 

How about a bad trans mount causing the exhaust pipe to "ground out" on the transmission/transfer case crossmember? Time for some "noggin pokin'" under these Jeeps.

 

No vacuum fitting and no cruse. A trusted member here posted that it stops TC lockup. I don't know myself but it sounds plausible. Might add a level of safety making sure you stop OK!

 

It's a cruise/trans switch with a vacuum dump valve. Look closer... And yes, it does control torque converter lockup.

Oh, and one more thing... I stole your photo!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So i drain the fluid out of the tranny and replaced with new. added some shudder stop as well. No change, im gonna look at that tc switch today

 

Could be as simple as it being misadjusted.

 

Also it doesnt do the shudder if the car is in neutral
