My truck has been havering a bit of shuttering going into 3rd gear. It feels like it goes in and out of gear really fast on the shift into 3rd. It is also starting to do it a little going I to second. Is there anything I can do to fix this or is it the tranny on its way out

 

Fluid still red? Might need changed due to break down of additives, thus chattering when trying to engage clutch packs.

 

Yeah fluid is red and smells good not burnt but ill try a flush anyway

 

Usually by 100K they start to get rough shifting(at least in my last few trucks). Fluid/filter and a couple days of driving they get smooth again.

 

Ok thanks. Yeah I have about 78,000 on mine right now so I guess it's worth a shot

 

As noted above the E4OD is very susceptible to torque converter shudder. A COMPLETE (16+ quarts) is the first step to resolving the issue.
