A torque converter shudder vibration may be induced by the torque converter clutch in normal driving mode (with an expected TCC slip amount) and is most often due to TCC friction material/ATF degradation).

What’s the vibration frequency of a TCC Shudder?

If TCC shudder is present, a vibration peak will appear at approximately 43Hz +/-3Hz. (Fig. 18) If the vibration frequency follows engine, tire, or driveshaft speed, then it is not a TCC shudder vibration. An alternative diagnostic for TCC shudder is to road test the vehicle and monitor commanded and actual TCC slip speeds.
