Sounds like it could be a torque converter lock up clutch issue, does the judder happen at certain speeds? The lockup clutch is disabled when in sports mode which helps with this theory.

Have you considered a miss-fire? Thought I had a knackered TC, turned out to be 1.5 dead injectors |

Miggit, he's got a proper one with a petrol engine, they don't get misfires... |

Thanks Miggit, I did have that on my diesel one but don't think this is the same 2006 3.0 TD6 Vogue Black - sold

I’m not a fan of fluid additives (friction modifiers) because of the risk that they may trash all of the controller’s adaptive learning but – if you already have Dexron in there - for the sake of £12 you could temporarily ‘shudder fixx’ your fluid just to prove the LUC is at fault and then remove all trace of it when you replace the torque converter (as you’d be doing a full transmission refill with the correct fluid).

This additive looks very interesting to see if it solves his issue

Thanks Phil, but I tried this before I had the gearbox oil changed and it didn't stop it. Some fluid came out when I was putting it in and that was red like normal ATF so maybe it is the wrong ATF ? 2006 3.0 TD6 Vogue Black - sold

There are a couple of issues with the torque converter lock-up clutch on the 5HP24 :

Is it not possible to power flush the gearbox? like you can on the TD6, keep adding fluid at the filler and removing it at the cooler return?

Miggit's idea is good, otherwise you have to do at least three oil changes....
