Question shudders when downshifting

I have a 99 f-250 5.4 automatic 4*4...

When the transmition downshifts, and I am applying a light amount of acceleration, the trany seams to shudder.

Does anyone out there have any experience with this type of problem... it happens whether or not I am pulling a load...

Thanks for your assistance...

Your Ujoint's good?

Go under the truck, and grab ahold of the dude and twist it back and fourth. There shoudln't be to much play in it.

I have the same problem. It feels like I am driving over roadway rumble strips when I am going from 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to 4th gear. ( is that upshifting or down?? I get confused about that).
Do you have an E4OD tranny??

From what I have seen here, I believe that the EEC module controls all shifting in the E4OD, and I am also getting codes and a check engine light. I just did an engine change, and worry about what I may have done to my Torque convertor. I went thru 11 pages of this forum yesterday, and saw plenty on the problem about poor shifting. Try reading thru here deeper into the past posts you may pick up a couple of good clues.

If you have a button on the dash for overdrive it is an E4OD. If not its an AOD--Jack
