1999 Transmission Jerk and Engine Skip
This is a 1999 F150 with 190000 miles on truck and 120000 miles on engine.
1. I have a 1999 F150 automatic that has a a minor rough (jerk) transition from 1st to 2nd gear but is smooth otherwise. Is there anything simple to do with this other than take to a transmission shop. I have changed the fluid twice in the past and just recently after 50000 miles it looked good and only very minor material on magnet?
2. The engine skips from time to time (several times at once) and then does fine for days. It can do this at any speed or any time. I am in the process of changing plugs and plug wires. Anything else simple I should try.
3. Should I bother with chasing the above or give in to something newer?
Thanks for your help
