Wondering why there is a low idle and shuddering while switching gears?

Asked by R_homola91 Apr 15, 2020 at 12:00 AM about the 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5 XT Limited Wagon

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a low rpm but I replaced the plugs then it
ran fine for 10 miles, but now I am back at the start
with a shuddering low idle when ever I switch
gears it also lowers to low idle with shuddering.
But when I am driving it likes to drop gears when
no pressure is imputed on the gas pedal or and
incline ? Need help
