I was told by a indy shop that the problem most likely 90% is the differential mounts and the cost with labour is $1200. I just wanted some confirmation if this could be the problem? The question that puzzles me is that why wouldnt the transmission mounts be faulty in S-mode?
I had the module re-flushed and had no luck either.
Well,I am reading and researching a lot online,and many are pointing to the torque converter or valve body.
I am pretty sure that it's a Lock up related issue or faulty torque converter,mine was rebuilt,as valve body was,but when I came back to the shop and said,I still get the same problem after the rebuilt,guy got the valve body(which was sent to get rebuild) checked and found out some tolerances issues,one part was replaced (cast aluminum piece alongthe pressure valve within it).Since then my rear end bump was gone.So,after all,probably it's a good choice to get the valve body replaced.
On russian X boards I find some info about the bearing of some kind and the stator being not to the specs and that causes slippage/shudder.
I don't know what to do,honestly,I am still optimistic,but I think that if I don't find the solution I am gonna try to get rid of it.F@#$ it,it's ok,I am ready to pay expensive,but come on get fixed at least,but not and nobody knows the solution and here we go with "differential mountings" theories, which are self healing under certain conditions etc.
Really it's hard to get used to that BS.
