Poss torque converter

Poss torque converter probs as getting the juddering on light throttle acc but it's intermittent and don't see any fluctuations in the rev counter, also no fault codes recorded on trans, so is it something else. Checked rear prop centre bearing which is ok.
I would be 100% torque converter if it was doing it regular, got 180 miles with the caravan on the back tomorrow so will see what happens but any ideas welcome. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

Mine also has the same very intermittent shudder

If I hadn't experienced it more severe in a Disco 3, I wouldn't have noticed it at all. But the 3.6 does also suffer from TC judders

Just an update did the 180 mile run no problem slight judder once when at low revs near home. On reading other gearbox issues on here everyone seems to get the judder when the car is warming up then seems to be ok, on mine it's the other way round ie perfect on warm up but int judder when fully warm and no irractic revs
Before I change the TC any other thoughts or should I stop whinging and get on with it ! 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

The judder only occurs when the gearbox oil is up to temperature, and the TC is locked

Thanks Mike I did know this but after reading the other threads was beginning to think I'd missed something. Had any experience with Bristol trans, seem to be well thought of on d3 forum or go gen from LR normally go the gen route but just thought I'd ask the question 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

Well that's the torque converter swapped, just got the rear arb to do now. Do you need to remove the rear bumper when lifting the rear body up the couple of inches or so to get the bar out ? As I don't have access to a wsm how do you bleed the system and would the front bar need bleeding as well ? 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

With the torque convertor replaced... has the judder gone?

Yes seems to have sorted problem, seems abit more responsive as well less slip through the torque converter will be interesting to see if the mpg improves 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
