transmission troubles

I have been experiencing a slight tremor when starting out. It seems to happen when the truck is cold. After it has been warmed up it seems to go away. I suspect the transmission. Has anyone else experienced this problem. I have a 2004 4X4 XLT crew cab with a 5.4 triton with 1200 miles

Some people have had this problem. It's the limited slip diff. Ford knows about it. There is a fix out on it. Contact your dealer and tell them.--Jack

You have a limited slip diff? If so, start there. There has been some clutch pack problems. But usually, they notice the shudder on turns.

I have had the same problem with my FX4 SCREW 5.4 with 3:55 until yesterday. I took it to the dealer and described the problem and they immediately said that it probably needed a clutch pack. This is a one day job provided that the dealer has the parts. Had it back a day and seems to be running very smooth. Will post again if the problem comes back.
