Shifting issues

hey y’all, I’m new to this whole forum thing but I’ve got a few questions. Recently I’ve been noticing that when I shift into second there is a slight jerk, I mentioned it to a buddy and he said it was most likely just the torque in the motor. I’m personally thinking the tranny just needs a service but any advice would be great!

 

Automatic or manual?

 

Automatic

 

If it's a '98 could be your tranny going after all it is 20 yrs old not unheard of.

 

Have you done a drain and flush along with new trans filter? Could improve it greatly!

 

I haven’t! Was planning on getting that done this week.

 

Try that then check back in. That may solve a lot of problems or at least make it better.
