What causes automatic transmission shudder when shifting from 2nd to 3rd?
In short, my problem was an automatic transmission shudder when shifting from 2nd to 3rd, and the solution was simply to change the ATF. Period. Read on for a more details. I have a 2006 Civic EX with automatic transmission which had about 75000km (or about 45000 miles) at the time of the transmission shudder.
What does it feel like when you shift from 2nd to 3rd?
I say “shudder” but it also felt like a “shake”, or vibration. It usually happened at very low acceleration, and mostly when shifting from 2nd to 3rd (with cold or hot engine), but however it also happened sometimes on the next shift (about 50km/h or 30mph, not sure which shift) but only when the engine was cool.
How much does it cost to fix a transmission Shudder?
A tube of Shudder Fixx costs about $15 depending on where you buy it. That’s definitely a small price to pay when you consider that some mechanics may misdiagnose this problem and end up expecting you to pay upwards of $4,000 to fix your entire transmission.
Can a 4L60E shift from first gear to second gear?
It is pretty easy to diagnose. The vehicle will shift from 1’st gear to second gear with absolutely no issue whatsoever, but than it acts like it has shifted to neutral. The engine is usually under a pretty heavy load at the time, so it’ll tend to redline before you realize what happened.
When does the transmission shutter between 2nd and 3rd gear?
Transmission shutter between 25 – 35 mph. Assume it’s between 2nd and 3rd gear. Happens all the time under light pedal pressure but not when gassing it. I saw the mention of TSB or Honda S/B 15-086. The car now has 68K miles on it. All this time, I didn’t know there was a major issue.

Is there an issue shifting from 2ed to 3rd gear?
As the title says, we are having an issue with our transmission when shifting from 2ed to 3rd. What I feel is a shutter and it seems more pronounced when the fluid is cold. It’s pretty infrequent but it’s there. At 35k the dealer said “no codes, so no problem” and suggested that a fluid change is necessary.
