    2013 Prius V. 247k miles. New engine.
    I’ve got a slightly vibration/shudder only when cruising and going slightly uphill at 50-55mph. When I push down on accelerator or let off it it’s gone. Vibration is felt in the floor and in the consol. Nothing in the steering wheel or pedal.

    Thoughts?

    I might start on the motor mounts and then the suspension. Depending on who did the engine, they may have removed the subframe, suspension, cv axles and mounts.

    If it were suspension related why would it go away with the slightest increase in acceleration or deceleration? I haven’t changed transmission fluid yet. Is it possible it’s that?

    Hope you don't have to separate the engine and trani.....
    Is this the original trani?
