HI
May I advise on a Converter check? If it disintegrates the whole box is due
for renewal, and that is truly costly...
When the auto overheats, the Converter is the primary item to take
damage.... and if the oil has shown sign of overheating (as I understand it)
it may only be a matter of short time before large bills comes up...
It may be cheaper to have it dissasembled and checked than replaced... It is
some kind of a chance to take just to go on..
The judder may be exactly the symptom of a timeout for the converter...
Just a hint...
I have promised myself to change my auto fluid every 30KKms. And will have
my box overhauled if signs of overheating or end of Converter life...
Reason is expiriences...
Regards..

It hadn't been changed for quite some time and had taken us to N Africa and
back and it looked a little dark on the end of the dipstick. When it drained
out it smelt a bit cooked and was indeed very dark red. As we didn't flush
the whole box out I thought it wise to drain again and re fill and get more
of the old out. No problem in changing gear, just occasional judder when
holding on the brake and creeping forward.
