Default shake/ shudder when shifting

Can anybody tell me what a shake when shifting getting up to speed is? Cruising is fine but when I am getting up to speed I can feel the throttle, accelerator shake which kinda ends up shaking the truck to.
Doesnt happen 100% of the time but quite often. Please help

From a dead stop it could be your clutch slave cylinder (that is assuming you have a manual transmission). Try changing the clutch fluid and see if that helps you. Suction out the old fluid (brake fluid) from the reservoir located at the firewall and add new brake fluid. Pump the clutch pedal about 10 times and they start the truck and try moving the truck. If that doesn't work or improve it, you are due for an new clutch. (about $1000).

My auto tranny was doing the same thing. Fluid and filter change solved it

So most likely nothing serious then? That relieves me. Looking at my books I am due to change my tranny fluid in the next 5k so might just end up doing it soon depending on how much it annoys me
