97 f 150 hard bump in 1st gear
When taking off from a stop it seems the trans either shifts hard from 1st to 2nd gear, much like getting a small bump from behind. All other gears are smooth. This is a 97 f150 v8 auto.
Not sure if its like the gear is slipping and then grabs and kicks in, but feels like it. |
My grandfather (40yr GM tech) was always convinced that a hard shift was good for the vehicle and it meant nothing was worn...
That being said, it's annoying. My 98 had a very clunky tranny when I got it, so I had the Trans fluid changed. Be sure to have them drop the pan and clean off the magnet that catches chunks. Within about 500 miles it shifted beautifully after that. |
