rsbagwell- Any new updates? I have the exact problem, .." Now if I accelerate gently on a mild hill, I get to see hesitation/knocking/jerk as if vehicle is confused as to which gear is should be at. However, if I accelerate bit aggressively, this does not happen. I also see this issue at gear 4 and 5 as well but not so frequently. No codes or misfire recorded on Mod 6 report. In manual mode, this issue disappears. " and loved your suggestion to go to manual mode, as that worked. I already had the sparkplug, fried coil and PCM problem corrected last year, which were simular symptoms but worse. So this torque converter, or trailer-hitching problem possibility seems to be the issue now, as I never get the histation in manual mode and agree it couldn't be sparkplug or something else engine wize. Please provide and update if the problem has returned.
Anybody else? Is my torque converter (TC) on its way to being completely shot? Will shifting to manual mode in 6th gear work for a long time... or am I doomed to have to replace the whole transmission? BTW changed/flushed trans fluid at 60K and 133k. Thanks all.
