Yes. I had a car with transmission shudder and shake so bad it rattled the dash. It turned out a massive vacuum leak at the intake manifold made the engine run so bad the transmission got confused and couldn't pick a gear that would stay in. When the engine repair smoothed things out, I also changed the tranny fluid and filter.
