Mine doesn't, but a co-workers '04 does all the time. Everytime I ride in it I wonder what the hell is going on.

My '99 used to have a shudder on deceleration at speeds 60 mph or higher. It was because of bad u-joints though. Almost all of the needles fell out and the joints werent moving smoothly.
I got 2 new u-joints at Autozone for $30 and now its silky smooth.

It just started about 2 weeks ago. Mine shudders on acceleration from a dead stop, and only lasts for a few seconds, calling for an appointment now.

Thanks for the tsb info. I went camping last week and had the quad and camping gear in the back, about 1000lbs. I thought it was the tranny going out or my edge. I returned it to stock and it still did it.
I've had the quad in it before and it never did that until last week. It made for a less than enjoyable camping trip cause I was worried about the tranny.

Mine does it. They've greased the slip yoke, replaced the driveshaft, installed a one and a two degree shim in the differential and it still vibrates.

How do I go about locating a "driveline shop" ??? I too get a shudder during take-off, but only when towing my travel trailer. I assume it's because of the pinion angle, which is caused from the tongue weight of my trailer. I'd love to get this fixed, but I wouldn't even know where to begin looking for a shop (besides the dealer, of course).
