need help

alright i have a 1994 f250 4x4 auto with a 351w and it likes to shake when i get into the low rpm's and it shakes more and more as i hit the gas more but it will stop as soon as it gets into the higher gear. and now today its been loosing power and then it will all of a sudden jerk and its enough to throw you back in your seat quite a bit. iv been told the it might be the torque converter wanting to lock up or its just goin bad. im just not sure what might be wrong with it.

Sounds like it shakes at the High RPMs, when you shift up you go down in RPMs. It does sound like a transmission issue but i'd check you U joints to be safe. I've have those blow at on the highway...no fun.

Have you checked the fluid level? Mine shifts hard and I'm hoping that changing the fluid and filter will help it out. You could try that.
