So these cars have special fluids that can break down and not allow the clutch discs inside the transferase and rear differential to slip, instead they chatter which can give you that shudder sensation. If these fluids had not been changed at 150,000 this is where I would start. Any warning lights on? Here is how to change the fluid out also, make sure you use Porsche fluids only! This is important.
