[V8] Newbie with Transmission woes need input from the pros

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Shudder can be a few things.  I would check the rear lat links for
wear/looseness first, rear shocks as well...
You may also have a bad center support bearing.

IME trans either works, slips or goes into limp-home mode.
