Shudders around 25-35mph
I have a 2004 TL. I bought it used in 08 with 73k's.Problem didn't start until a month later.It started to shudder around 25-35mphs.I took to back to car lot and they said it must be tires... so I went and bought Yoko's..still shudder...I took it to amcco..they did a transmission flush... still shudders..So, I have been taking it to dealership for the past 2 years and they can't seem to repeat my problem until this past week.The tech finally got it to repeat,so I thought...They end up replacing the intermidate shaft. I drove out of there with a grin on my face! until a couple of days later. It started again... any feedback on this?

sounds like your tranny (If you have an automatic tranny). I had the same problem with the shuddering while shifting from 3rd to 4th, i'd have to let go of the gas to allow it to shift.
After some research i ended up doing a 3x3 tranny flush with redline racing atf (type f) and it fixed the shuddering completely. Havent had a problem since

I had the problem and it destroyed my tranny. Get the engine mounts checked, mine shook some wires loose and the tranny slowly went out. I mean slowly like a year. If you don't soon you will start getting the VSA light coming on and the accelerator cuts off while you are driving to protect the the tranny, I got it checked to late. I ignored it and payed the price, but I got a new honda tranny and it has some new updates and runs more smooth.

Please do a 3x3 drain and fill with a better fluid than Honda Z1.
Red line racing atf or redline D4 atf.
also, change out the 3rd and 4th pressure switches.
