Will do. I'll see what happens after being driven and I'll still need to address the transfer case issue.

I did the exchange with 16 quarts. The fluid was really clean and I suspect the previous owner may have had the same issue in the past and that was a band-aid. I also added the shudder stop but haven't driven it enough to notice if the shudder has subsided. I may get one more and put that in. It...

Transmission shop quote I stopped by a local trans shop to get their input. They have seen a lot of 4Runners with this shudder issue. They suggested a rebuild and would be roughly 4k. They said the TC MAYBE able to be replaced only but there is a chance the pieces from a broken TC could migrate...

White Shepherd Where would one find said product? Was it bought out by another company? Seems like the most economical solution even though it's temporary.

Fast TC leak Now that I know the torque converter is most likely toast, I'm focusing on figuring out what to do with the transfer case leak. I filled it up with a quart and a half of oil and it's already leaked a few ounces onto the floor. This forum is great. So much useful information!

I've read a ton of replies and posts. I'll be to The point. I have a 2003 4.7 V8 with an external cooler on the drivers side. It HAS a dipstick for the transmission. 1. Anyone have a pic they can post or link to the fluid check bolt? 2. Can I fill via the dipstick and not use the unlocatable...

Thanks for the advice. I was up for hours reading. This is defiantly what I'm experiencing. Going to do drain and fill procedure in write up. Great place for finding fixes to these vehicles. The 2003 Limited V8 I have has 262k on the clock. Runs and drives like new except for the shudder.

What were the symptoms of the oil leak? I have a 2003 V8 that vibrates fast like running over rumble strips. It will do it intermittently but it does do it every time it's driven. Should I drain and fill the TC anyway to see if that helps? If there is another thread on this subject please post...
