I think you need another flush and adjustment. There are a lot of
passages in there. The screen might even need another clean or
replacement, likely more than not.

You are both missing the point here I think. The TV cable controls
shift points and increases line pressure too so if you advance the
cable setting to a higher shift point at same throttle input, you will
have a higher average line pressure and therefore less shudder because
clutches have more pressure on them. I do not want to be grime reeper
here but I suspect that you have clutch problems from either a worn
clutch or a bad seal in a clutch pack leaking pressure. Next step
would be to have a tranny shop do a line pressure check on it at test
ports and if pressure is good then you have internal problems with
clutches and or leakage their control circuits.

have a higher average line pressure and therefore less shudder because
clutches have more pressure on them. I do not want to be grime reeper
here but I suspect that you have clutch problems from either a worn
clutch or a bad seal in a clutch pack leaking pressure. Next step
would be to have a tranny shop do a line pressure check on it at test
ports and if pressure is good then you have internal problems with
clutches and or leakage their control circuits.

You are both missing the point here I think. The TV cable controls
shift points and increases line pressure too so if you advance the
cable setting to a higher shift point at same throttle input, you will
have a higher average line pressure and therefore less shudder because
clutches have more pressure on them. I do not want to be grime reeper
here but I suspect that you have clutch problems from either a worn
clutch or a bad seal in a clutch pack leaking pressure. Next step
would be to have a tranny shop do a line pressure check on it at test
ports and if pressure is good then you have internal problems with
clutches and or leakage their control circuits.

Sure, as long as the shop is reputable and will offer a reasonable
warranty.
