Shudder under load.

Post by green02crew »

And no it is not in need of a tune up. Especially happening in OD but sometimes between other gears as well. What am I looking at here for tranny issues?

My options that I see are: a New/Used tranny, tranny rebuild, trade the truck. I am looking to only get 1-2 years out of it until making the move to a new vehicle, that is my monetary goal.

Thoughts, opinions, concerns?

Try using sone Sea-Foam transmission treatment. My transmission was starting to do some odd shifts. After using about half a can, it seems to have straighened up, and is shifting fine now. It couldn't hurt, and is cheaper than switching trannys.
