Grind under load

I've got a '99 Expedition with the 5.4L AWD. A problem has come up. Cruising down the road at any speed all is fine. But when the rig comes under a load such as a hill or quick acceleration to pass, there is a heck of a vibration or grind in the floor board. The tranny shifts up/down fine.

Just curious what your thoughts might be on this. Torque convertor? Transfer case?

Does it sound like you are running over rumble strips? If so, you need to change the Tranny fluid - all of it, drain the pan and the torque converter.

When I read of the transmission shutter, I thought what I was experiencing was more than a shutter. But now that you mention rumble bars, I believe that is an excellent analogy of what I've got.

So off to do a tranny flush and filter. Thanks.
