WOW this has becone a huge issue cruising.

Will be Crusiing and the TQ looses Lock and the Locks.
Feels like an Ignition problem and borders on violent Chuggling.

Have an Edge 3600 and Shane Tranny.
Problems started last year coming back from long distant Races.
At the 3rd hour of driving home this bucking began.
Been chasing one problem after another to narrow it to the TQ.

Now it has become more frequent.
Seems better driving at a steady state 65mph limiting the Chuggling.

Who has had this problem?
What solutions recommended to fix?

when your driving at 65, slightly hit the brake with your other foot on the gas. You should see or feel the rpms raise some. Do this when the problem is happening, if the problem goes away for a couple of secs when it unlocks, its the converter anr or control circuit of the tcc. If it still does it, its a engine issue.

Not to enter an old thread, but, yes I have an AI custom Cam and a new Yank and I've got this problem between 45 - 50 mph!?!?!
