She shifts very hard into gear and then I move forward. Doesn't happen very often but it happened again tonight and that was the second time in the last three days. I don't know how many more times that can happen till something expensive breaks. Tonight it did it and the vehicle was warm. Previously I thought it was because the trans was cold in the morning. It has happened in both reverse and forward now if that helps with the diagnosis. Trans runs fine other than this. Thanks   James Briscoe (Rockywood) New Member Username: Rockywood Post Number: 23 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Friday, February 20, 2004 - 01:15 am:    It is exactly like doing a nutrual drop. That describes the behaviour perfectly.   john heath (Whatmud) New Member Username: Whatmud Post Number: 11 Registered: 02-2004 Posted on Friday, February 20, 2004 - 02:57 am:    i have a 97 and it does the same thing time to time i just let it sit for a sec or two before i give it gas and it hasn't happened since   Michael Noe (Noee) Senior Member Username: Noee Post Number: 873 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Friday, February 20, 2004 - 08:17 am:    Check your fluid level and color. Might be worth a change.
