The original transmission shudder fixA concentrated friction modifier formulated specifically for instantly eliminating torque converter lock-up shudderProvides four times less wear than regular ATFFor use in any automatic transmission fluid (not for use in Ford Type F or CVT applications)Voted top product by transmission professionals
I had an 07 with the shuddering torque converter. It’s a common issue and pops up sometime between 100-130k miles. I dumped a tube of this shit in there and it was fine after.
The slight shudder when accelerating on the highway MAY be indicative of a transmission torque converter issue starting to show it's face. Have someone check the transmission fluid & take note of what color it is and if it has a burnt-smell to it. If the fluid still looks half decent (Still red, and not a brown/black color), you may be able to save it by adding a bottle of this to the transmission fluid. It's not guaranteed to work, but it costs $7.00 & I've seen it take care of slight torque converter shudder plenty of times.
Car dealer who sells 100,000+ Fords, trust me on this one - I promise THIS STUFF IS MAGIC
First step would be to do the 3x3 drain and fill with a hundred miles between fills. I'd use Valvoline Maxlife multi vehicle ATF since it's very well regarded, a synthetic atf, and easily found and reported to work well in these and many other asian transmissions. I'd guess your fluid is burnt up. Walmart will likely have the best price. You could try something like this but new fluid will be the priority: https://www.amazon.com//dp/B0002JMLQU
Flushes are generally frowned upon for a lot of reasons on high mileage vehicles due to possible unlodging any chunky buildup and also shocking any adjustment to the trans computer programming (it has built in learning/tuning and likes gradual changes). If you can easily take off the trans drain pan you should do that and replace the filter and gasket, but I'd start with fluids. Whatever's in the filter won't be going anywhere.
Dr. Tranny Instant Shudder Fixx you can probably pick this up at Baxter's. Solves a lot of transmission problems. Not sure why this is downvoted... for an older car like yours this can save you some serious coin if it is the torque converter, and it takes like 10 min to get it in your tranny.
