trans hicup

ok my trans hiccupped or something to that sort, i'm letting the truck cool while we go otu to eat dinner so i'm up for suggestions here. i was at a light and took off normal, it stayed in 1st gear for a good bit then as i was pullin off to the shoulder it all went back to normal, got home fine, pulled no codes, fluid is clean, ideas? i'm changing the fluid and filter after dinner as precaution and to investigate any possible metal but the stick was clean, first hiccup in 200k, i really cant complain

You're due for a fluid change IMO. I do it around 15K. Cheap insurance!

i normally replace it religously at 15 and i've had the fluid and filter on the backseat for that long but working 7 days a week at 12-14 hour shifts leaves me a bit burnt out, finished tonite though, fluid, filter, and converter done, fluid was not bad for 30k, still red but not bright cherry, more like apple, i took pics of everything but not uploading tonite, drove it and still shifting good, i cant duplicate my concern, after looking at the fluid diagrams and symptom charts i really think i need to look at buying a solonoid pack for it, but since i couldnt duplicat the customer concern i think i'll have to NPF it.....lol
