Occasional shudder when shifting into Park?

Breach · 07-01-2017, 10:09 AM

On a couple of occasions already I've noticed that putting the car in 'P' would cause quite a palpable shudder (like going over a bump). Shifting into 'D', 'N', 'R' is OK, no transmission slippage either... It doesn't happen often but does happen. Any ideas? It could be 'normal' but I don't recall this happening before. Thanks.

The only time I would see that happening is if the car was still slightly moving as you press the P button. Which in that is very bad for the transmission in the long run.

Of course, but not the case - it happens with the brake pedal firmly depressed and the car fully stopped. Hence I suspect a mechanical issue.

Also checked with ISTA today - no fault codes.
