Unhappy Trans problem! I think!

Ok I recently noticed my trans has been chattering a little. It goes from 1 to 2nd (smooth) then 2nd to 3rd (smooth) 3rd to 4th it chatters a little! Any ideas guys? I have about 89k on the truck and I don't beat it! Maybe I should just do a tranny service to it huh? Let me know! Thanks!

Do you mean chatter or shudder? If its chattering when you hit OD its either a major problem or something loose underneath. If its shuddering when it hits OD and locks up its probably TC clutch. Not enough line pressure to hold the power. A service won't address the problem. You really need a shift kit to start with and hope it hasn't hurt itslef already.

Well, thanks! I'll start with a service and see if that helps! Either way it wouldn't hurt!
