Car shudders in high gear under load - transmission?
My '95 SE shudders & vibrates when in overdrive or high gear when car is under load, like when going up a hill. It doesn't take much of a load to start the shuddering. I get it to stop by stepping on the gas so it downshifts, or letting of the gas, then stepping on it again so it goes into a lower gear and gets the RPM up. I'm assuming it'* something in the transmission!? It was doing it when I got the car at 122,000 miles. It now has 143,000 miles. Anybody have any idea what this might be? Thanks.

The whole car just seems to shudder. Not like a tire out of balance. Hard to describe, shudder, vibration, rumbling, etc. I don't think it'* the engine pinging, seems to be too heavy of a noise for that. I think it'* the transmission rumbling somehow!?
