Question 2003 F250 6.0 Auto?

My truck worried me today. While driving if felt like the trans was slipping while shifting between 2-3 or 3-4. The RPMs would jump before it would shift. I was told it could be a solenoid in the trany. Are they easly fixed? And is there a way to get my trany to shift smoother without a reflash? My truck has never been back to a dealer so it has never had the ECM reflashed.

How many miles?
I would change your filter/ fluid ASAP it MIGHT cure the problem.
Any towing involved

My truck only has 31250 miles. I've only towed with it about 7000 miles. Hopefully changing the fluid and filter will help.

Watch it Dustin_86. No need to say his transmission is failing before it is properly diagnosed. 30,000 miles is about the time you should have your transmission serviced any way. Take it in for a service, and let them know whats going on.
