Default car shudders under acceleration. :(
2004 automatic scion xa. 93xxx miles. no engine mods whatsoever.

car shudders under acceleration, from 0 - 40 its ok, after that it starts shuddering like crazy. i have a feeling it's my transmission. anyone care to shine some like on what else it may be?

it sounds correct. i'll check my cv boots tonight and look for leakage. it explains the puddle of grease underneath my car a few nights ago.
