- VF Calais V S2
Hi all,
Hoping to receive some thoughts on the below problem.
I own a VF series 2 calais v v6 2015 with about 120,000KM on the speedo.
I experience a slight shudder at around 55km/h, but can happen at other speeds (happens more frequently at lower speeds). It typically happens when I slightly apply the accelerator and when on an incline. Interestingly, car will never shudder right when I start driving and within about 20-30 mins. It never shudders super violently, just subtly.
Taken to a few trans specialists who can't tell me conclusively unless they open up the trans. I have had mixed opinions between engine misfiring to torque converter. But no one had conclusively figured it out.
I bit the bullet and took it to Holden for a diagnostic test and they suspect it is a torque converter issue. Their reasoning is that when they turned the torque converter (turned the ' TCC off') the car stopped shuddering. What worries me is they found no error codes besides at P2888 which is apparently unrelated.
I want to avoid fixing the torque converter which they've quoted $3K for unless I can be 100% sure that's the part to blame.
What concerns me is also the difference in opinion that alot of people have.
I appreciate anyones insight to this apparently common problem with the VFs.
Thanks
