LOGIE Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Howdy all. I took my supra for a leg stretch due to the fact that it hasnt moved all winter and there isnt much salt on the roads at the moment. I warmed it up before moving off and went for half a tank of fresh fuel. All was going great..turbos spooling nicely yada yada untill i pulled up to a junction and the car sounded for a second like it was going to stall..but didnt. (Revs got very low). Drove around for 30 miles ish then pulled up on my drive i let it tick over for a few mins to let the turbos cool then turned the car off. When it went off i felt that shudder again and could hear a bit of a clunk. I started the car again and walked around and had a look under to see or hear anything but didnt, i even gave the exhaust a shake in case a mounting was loose but it seemed ok. Started the car again and turned it off again and can still feel that shudder. Car is a TT auto but works fine whilst driving up and down the gears. my gut instinct is telling me its the torque converter but not 100%. im open to any theories or ideas of what yous may have. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I would check anything on the aux/fan belt run, something could be semi seized (alternator etc) that the engine over powers when above idle? If you whipped the belt off and then started and stopped it (quickly) and it still shuddered you could rule out those normally moving parts at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to think of it when i reversed onto my drive the power steering did feel a little heavy. Could be the ps pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
