When driving if I speed up or go under load the trans shifts and shudders for a couple seconds until I let off and give more throttle.I was told by a fourm it sounds like torque converter shudder The trans is an e40d will a shift improver kit and filter fluid change help or fix this. There is no slip and all gears work fine except the shudder at low rpms

Start with a service and inspect the pan for signs of clutch linings, also I would get the car to a transmission workshop and get the line pressures checked start here.
