RE: shudder when braking

I had a similar with my old 90q.  It turned out to be a faulty ABS sensor.  I think it was an expensive fix given the problem. (what else is new.)
Hope this helps

Listers...

I sometimes have encountered the following with our 93 100 CSQW (auto transmission of course).

While coming to a stop (or merely braking to nearly a stop...such as rolling through a stop sign), I will sometimes get a shudder which feels very similar to that which occurs in a manual transmission when the car is slowed without engaging the clutch. The feeling is that of the engine trying to continue to move the car forward which conflicts with the brakes being applied. My foot is NOT on the accelerator (oh no, not that).

Also, although the sensation is similar to the ABS shudder, it occurs in dry, clean conditions where tire slippage is NOT occuring so I would not expect ABS to activate.

Any others with similar experiances?
