The newer transes are more temperamental than the c4 and c6, if the fluid is not fresh it will not shift correctly.

Yeah i fixed the cluster light problem, it was the fuse. i talked to the guy who owned it before me and he said it needs some kind of bearing, what do i need to search for and whats it called, what all would i need to replace it as far as parts and fluid, total...

dr. tranny shudder fix is the only additive i've ever seen, that actually works for a decent period of time.

yeah and that's exactly what i used, took a few miles of driving to fully take effect, haven't felt-herd anything else, now i just need to get another thermostat, replaced the temp gauge sensor thinking the gauge didn't work, then i realized that the thermostat is stuck open (fail-safe) and wont allow the engine to get up to operating temp...

i believe its coming from the rear end, i crawled under the truck and there is ALOT of play in the rear end where the drive shaft bolts up to the rear end (new pinon bearing needed) so therefore im sure thats where the shutter is coming from, i will give an update when i get it changed
