something funny when shifting
Just put a e4od from a 90 bronco 5.8 into my 93 F-350 5.8. Trans was supposedly rebuilt not sure how many miles on it. It has been running great, but yesterday I went to get a load of wood on my 16' trailer and got the trailer hung up in the field. After rocking the truck back and forth (from rev to drive and so on) now when it shifts from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd it almost feels like wheel hop or something. Almost like it's shifts into gear.....then does it again. Checked fluid....re-checked u-joints for tightness but can't figure out why it's doing it. Other than that it runs great. Any ideas would be great!!

If youre talking about the sensor on the side where the shift selector is....its new....could it just need to he re adjusted.....actually....drove it for the first time today and it seems to have quit doing it....is it possible that the computer needed time to catch up?

Ha. Happens to the best of us. I thought I had a trans problem awhile back after doing some work on the truck. Turns out I forgot I had the t case in neutral,lol. Took me a minute to figure it out. I even posted about it. Glad you got it fixed.
