So you go from Park to Drive and after you select the gear, it jumps. Well when I used to run 4L60's that could be a trans cable out of adjustment. How are the RPM's at idle, are they elevated for some reason like running 1200 rpms or something?

i have a bit of the same thing right now, shift into gear you can hear a bit of a clunk and thats it drives fine. reverse if u give it gas tho shudders like its a manuel and its stalling. neway not hijacking i changed fluid and filters and cleaned out the tranny didnt change anything so i dont think its there for you bro
