I replaced the pressure solenoid and sensor in my 2001 Laramie 5.2 46RE transmission a few weeks ago to fix being stuck in 2nd gear. The transmission works great now, but I'm noticing a slight shudder/grumble on takeoff. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot/fix?

 

That could be a whole lotta different things, from brakes, to torque converter...... Can you post a video?? (likely have to host it on youtube, then link it here.)

 

I can try to capture the sound on video, but it's more of a feeling than a noise. I'll give it a shot and let you know.

 

Where do you feel it? Thru the seat, or the steering wheel?

 

Through the seat and pedal mostly. I checked the u joints, and they are solid. I tried to record on video, but you can't hear it.

 

How are the brakes??

 

They are sometimes very grabby when I first start it in the morning, but only for a couple pedal presses. Otherwise they seem solid. I've only had this truck for a month, still getting used to it.

 

Ah, that's always fun. May wanna go thru it, check all the fluids, etc..... crawl around underneath. See if anything obvious presents itself.
