Question Shudder when pulling out????

Hi all. My 07 E350 started to shudder some pulling out, and sometimes has no power. I had the trans go bad at 88K. It now has 105K. Does it sound like the trans again or something else? It felt like the grooves in the road when you start to drift into the shoulder, but not nearly that bad. Just a mild case, but I am afraid to take it out now. No trouble lights on the dash. The trans is full of reddish fluid. Any ideas where to start looking?

Do you have a warranty on the transmission repair or rebuild? Did the job include a new torque converter? The shop should at least give you a courtesy inspection.

Check for latent codes and codes that don’t set a dash light. Maybe you have a spark plug breaking loose.

Torque converter would be my guess.

Gotta go with possibly being the torque converter. If there's a warranty still in effect return to the shop and have them dig into it.

Thanks for the replies. The torque converter would have been my guess too. But that problem stopped and there is a new one. Maybe I should start a new thread. I broke down today in Lowe's parking lot.

Yeah don't pile onto an existing thread with another problem. Not sure exactly what "broke down" means but if its not transmission related it should be posted in the appropriate sub-forum where it might receive more exact repair advice.
