Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP with a
5.3 L engine. When I am slowing down every
time my car hits approximately 18 miles an
hour there is a shutter felt in the petals as
well as the steering wheel and the
floorboards of the vehicle. It then stops when
you’re at about 10 miles an hour Ors I have a

Agree with FOR. Look into the trans downshift as the problem. If the trans swap was recent, I would take it to the shop that did the work. If not, start by checking the fluid level and go from there. Good luck.

This is not the transmission downshift that is being felt this is a very distinct shutter at the same speed’s consistently fluid is fine valve body is fine transmission is working 100% When the electronica fuel management system sensor was unplugged that shutter went away you plug it back in the shed or comes back however it is not throwing any codes
