Explain better, on the 1-2 shift or 2-3 shift? In D?

You can try resetting the computer by unplugging the battery negative cable for a few minutes and then go drive it. Do you tow alot?

If you take it to the dealer, the first time they are going to do the same thing I just said.

It's the FX4 package that causes the jerk. It's worse if you have the nav unit and sony stereo.

I had to do something to keep it going.

My XLT does the same thing. It does it with the 5.0 also.
