Car shudders when accelerating from complete stop

it's really bad - like the back wheels are turning but the front wheels have the brakes on. Also does it sometimes when braking. It's an auto BMW 318. Any clues!

Possibly a worn out prop shaft coupling.

Could it be that the auto box needs a flush!

Hard to say over the net, but I'm picking the auto is pretty tired, on the way out maybe.

Bugger - I was hoping nobody would say it was the auto. That usually means big $$$. I'll get it checked out next week.

Could be engine/gearbox mounts!

could be the coil pack thingy, my mate had that problem with his holden.

You mean you really didnt think this was the most likely!

Drive shaft bearings.

Call in and see Dave or Pete at Eurorec in McAlpine St, they do a damn good job and will no doubt have a good second hand auto box that they could drop in.
