For the first time and with 59000 miles I have something going on with my 2010 army green AT. I have a slight shudder at 25 and 45 mph. Need some help. I'm not modded and only light wheel it. Mainly for snow.

I had the same Issue starting a year ago took 5 months to pin point was finally resolved in may this year. And I'm Sure some would say wheel bearings not it. make a long story short toyota had to replace prop shaft first; still had the problem. next we replaced the transmission--problem solved.

shudder came from transmission not being able to shift in to gear at speed due to the gears in the tranny being severely worn.  8k for tranny 1300 for prop shaft. Im thankful for my platinum warranty everyday.

But this was my experience I now have 98k on the truck 11k since tranny swap no issues now. 

Post more details. What are you doing when it shudders? Is it an acceleration thing or wheel shaking?

If it's a tranny shudder most people see improvements with just changing the fluid out for fresh stuff.

It's during acceleration. Shudder/hesitation feeling

Warranty still good? If so and you can recreate the problem to show them take it to the dealer and they will take care of it. If you're out of warranty try changing the fluid. (note: do not the flush the tranny)

So far so good. It's going in tomorrow bright and early. I have 140 miles before warranty expires. When I called they seem to know what speed it starts to shudder. Hmmmm.

It's pretty common with FJ's /Tacos.. Torque converter. Make someone log that you reported it before your warranty was out.
