I have exactly that problem. Not all the time though. It seems to happen most often when accelerating gently up a slight incline at just the right speed. There's one particular roundabout on a hill on my route home from work that often triggers it. I assume the only fix is a new / recon converter ?

I can't afford to get the 'box rebuilt right now, and obviously the labour to change just the torque converter is high enough that it seems silly to do that and not look at the 'box at the same time. I'll have to put up with the judder for now.

In your experience, is this fault normally accompanied by another fault in the gearbox ? My gearbox seems to work OK <touch wood> at the moment.
