97 Powerstoke trouble

I have a 97 powerstroke that when it shuts of, it sounds like it is coming to a real abrupt stop and shaking heavily. almost as if something is catching on the flywheel, but when i checked it was all clear. the motor runs perfectly otherwise. could someone help me to diagnose this problem?

hmmm sounds like cummins syndrome, maybe it has something to do with the compression stroke and the fuel?

Do you have an automatic of manual transmission?

If you have a manual transmission it sounds like you have a dual mass flywheel is needing replaced/upgraded.
