Is it the Transmission or the rear end. If your pumkin is liw on fluid, it msy be that. Also they need to be shifting in sync ( the engine and transmission ) theres a part that can go , cant recall what its name is.. But it helps to regulate your speed of the engine driving d oi wn the road.. Your mph so like at 15 mph, 25 mph etc... your tranny should shift and smooth at about that exact speed... Thats it.. lol. * Speed Sensor* I was having i cant remember that "thing-ah- mah-jig" that "whatcha-mah-call-it" Some of the older guys wl get that. After checking your fluids etc.. check your speed sensor. Good luck bud.
