Can An Auto Box Cause What feels like Clutch Judder?

As per the title. Can an auto box cause judder. I've pretty much eliminated everything else. I've described the fault in this thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/vibration-under-load-worse-slow-speed-236254.html

yes it is looking for the right gear. When was the last time fluid and filter was changed in transmission. How many miles on it?

mines on 186000 never been done asked around early last year for some garage to do the fluid change must have asked 7 garages no one wanted to know to many horror stories

Under light load the vibration is almost undetectable. Under hard acceleration it feels like the engine is shaking. It's similar to a loose or failed inner CV joint. Having changed the off side drive shaft as the joint was dry, I had hoped the vibration would stop, but no.

Tranny fluid was changed under 5K miles ago when I fitted the new engine. I used D3 as that is what I had. I drained some off to check the colour, it's still clean and red. The car has only covered 36500 miles.

Oil is clear and red.
Would a slipping clutch Judder and all gears?

There's a how to guide if you google auto box oil change. I was reading it the other day.

I'd put a linky up but haven't figured how to on my phone yet

No cos it's most likely a sticking valve

So as this is affecting all gears, it's not likely to be a sticking valve? The box changes gears up and down as smooth as silk even at full throttle!

Only just getting to grips with auto boxes and that for a Freelander 2 from what you've said though It sounds more likely to be a fault elswhere in the drive train
