That's what it sounds like to me.. does it "slam" into gear?

When you have ford warranty the repair make sure they add the transmission additive, as they had some solenoids react to the transmission fluid. The additive will prevent this from happening.

Good luck.

no but when I first start it up it sounds like something drops.... and the shaking/studder/sputtering happened alittle worst yesterday when I was backing in up. Don't know if it has something to do with wheels(something connected maybe) or the tranny but the way everyone is talking it could very well be the tranny... i can't believe this is a problem in a vehicle that has only 6,000 miles on it.
