2007 charger torque converter

When accelerating I can feel a slight vibration move from the dead peddle to my accelerator petal, and the opposite when letting off the throttle. When in MDS operation it vibrates extremely bad. MDS will kick on exactly at 20MPH and vibrate so strongly that it feels like the wheels will shake off. It will do this in every gear. Vibrates like a son of a bitch. The slightest throttle input will make it vibrate. As soon as you turn MDS off it goes away. Sometimes when MDS engages it makes a loud clank noise.

Throttle feels less responsive than it does when MDS is on: When driving in V4 mode, as soon as I press the throttle you can feel instant acceleration, though it vibrates like a mug, it feels a lot smoother than in V8 mode.

In V8 mode it feels like it has to slightly spin up then you gradually get going. I can only assume this is the torque converter not locking. Can some one help me out? I cannot decide if this is the TC or the VB. That shudder thing it does in V8 mode scares me sometimes. I know when I was driving on a slightly icey road it almost wrecked me. When it does the kick, it shoots the power to the wheels instantly breaking them lose.

Sometimes driving in first gear will become unstable. When driving under 10MPH and accelerate it will be hesitant to accelerate. The only way I can describe is that for 1 second of pressing the throttle, nothing happens, then all of a sudden all that lower that would have been in that 1 second acceleration kicks in all at once, jolting the car a little. I never really see metal shaving, sometimes a metal sludge around the magnet.

But nothing else. Updated: It also has issues going up even the smallest hills. Even downshifts to get up them. Not sure that its the tc. Usually if you press the brake pedal just enough to make the brake lights come on this sends a command to the pcm to disengage the tc lockup. A possible soft ware update or can the mds be turned off? That being said, the last few days have been the worst.

The colder it is the more sluggish the trans seems to be. Today I was running down the highway in manual mode and I would let off the gas and you could immediately feel the car being pulled from behind slowing the car down. No joke, in about 10 seconds or so I lost 10mph. Driving around in first gear is so bad. I remember first gear was so smooth and had immediate response.

You have to slowly press the throttle down and eventually it will start accelerating. It feels like your spinning something up and it finally starts going. But a defective crank position or cam position sensor could shut igntion off without leaving a code. It fixed both issues for 7 or 8 months. Help fix this problem before someone is killed!!!!!!
