No, it is still doing it. I have been traveling alot for work so, I haven't had the time to work on it more. bought the fluid and the filter to change and next time I get a weekend free I am going to change that out. If that doesn't remedy the issue I will be replacing the Torque Converter.

since you have DAS i would drive around while looking at actual values. TC lockup clutch possibly and or input/output speeds. I presume you checked fluid level or nah? What does the service history show? If in fact it was well taken care look to see if any tranny work has be performed previously.

Shot off tc in star. Test drive after. Your answer is there. Also check for oil in tcu.
If the problem goes away then replacing the torque converter solenoid is something I would try before the tc. I bought mine for $50 but I believe the price now is closer to $100

Ok so finally took a drive with STAR hooked up and was watching the settings. TC would go from Open at rest, and slow acceleration to Slipping above about 15 mph. then back to Open when I would come to a stop again, even during the shudder it only showed Slipping.
Where do I disable the Lock up, I looked all through the trans settings and couldn't find it.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks 210lvr, don't know how I missed that.
I turned off TCC solenoid on the drive to work today, for about 20 miles of my 38 mile commute. with speeds between 25 and 60. and it was so smooth with the tcc lockup turned off. pulled over shutoff car and got the shudder back so I am going to say need to replace the TC. Man I wish I had a lift.

Thanks! Picked up a tcc solenoid from Dodge dealer. It was $40 cheaper in a Mopar box but the solenoid said Mercedes-Benz on it. Replaced it. And trans is no longer shuddering. It took about 5 liters of fluid to bring it back to full.
