Unhappy Transmission Shudder

My transmission shudders on mild initial acceleration from dead stop. Dealers says I can't make it fail so here it is back, bring it back if it does it again.

Anyone else have the shudders?

thats a pretty bad explanation, try and explain it a lil bit more in depth such as what speed it happens at and which gear its in.

My '93 L did that when the fluid needed changing.

A better explanation, O.K., how about from a standstill/stopped at a Stop Sign either turning left or right. Normal acceleration. First gear.

Could it be my rear end causing the shudder?

I've changed the fluids.

For ****s and grins I've narrowed it down to the differential because it only clicks/shudders when I turn. Long story short ,SVT Central says that there is a friction lubricant that should be added when changing the oil, approximately 3 to 4 ozs., I'm assuming that the Tech didn't add it at the last service at 16,000 miles.

take care

mine "shudderd" sorta speak when I would let off the pedal... once I changed the fluid (as apart of installing my FTVB) it cleared up 100%.... It started the shudder at around 31k miles.
