Stutter and shutdown.

[MudRunnerTD]

Is it puffing any smoke when it shudders? White or Black? How many kms? Something is a little off. They are a pretty simple engine in terms of falt finding. Air, Fuel. Have you checked your air filter? is it turbo charged?

i don't think shuddering after lifting off throttle would be a fuel thing . a bit above my experience level but maybe harmonic balancer or torque converter or a very very outside chance, a broken crankshaft . hope i am wrong , even the harmonic balancer can be a pain to replace .

I am fairly new to vehicles with issues. Been very lucky with the vehicles I have owned so far. So I have been scouring forums for similar symptoms and seeing if it relates to my rig and if it does, trying their fixes. I am very much an untrained novice diy/YouTube mechanic. So if I sound like I'm heading in the wrong direction feel free to course correct me at any time.

I haven't noticed any smoke when it shudders. The only time I see smoke is under hard acceleration going up a hill and it is black smoke. It just hit 215,000 kms. I've only put about 3000 on it since I got it. And it is a NA silvertop.

Next time it shudders, get out and pump the primer on the filter head. See if the shudder stops or not.

Might have more than one problem. Primed the fuel line using the manual pump no leaks. Bled lines to injectors. Ran fine yesterday. Went to go to work this morning and made it out of my driveway and my street. Turn onto a fairly busy street. No acceleration at all. Tried going through the gears manually and nothing. Seems like that gearbox is out. Yay

That is all about off roading fun Steve! Fun when out offroading, fun fixing or improving things, even fun tinkering with things that are good before you touch them and maybe not after!

You changed lever positions and gears were not changed? The only thing I can imagine for such a symptom would be the shift lever itself, broken below the pivot ball.

Oh, maybe not... if the clutch slave fails and get stuck, the clutch would stay released, no power to the transmission and you would be able to switch through gears to no result.

Have to make a call on time and $$ sunk vs convert it to a real (manual) wagon :P

So engine runs and revs but no power to wheels?

My next guess would be solenoid block on auto box. A fluid change/flush MAY fix it. But then it could be electrical, and once you invoke the dark arts of electrickery, all bets are off.

Had to park it on the side of the road this morning so I could go to work. Dangerous here in Guam do to part thieves. Heres to hoping I have all my wheels when I get back today. When I left it this morning it had died after I lost ability to put it in gear. I was not able to get it to start again.

I haven't really sunk a lot of money in it yet. Just the cost of buying 10k and about $500 in filters oil, atf, stereo and speakers. I was already looking at getting a nomad valve from Wholesale Automatic Transmissions. So I might invest in one of their upgraded extreme transmissions. Parts availability in the middle of the ocean is hard enough for stock so I think I would have a pretty hard time finding parts for converting to a manual.
