Transmission problem..............your opinion
Well I just did a tranny fluid change about 2 weeks ago. And this problem was doing this even before i changed the fluid. When i start from a stand still it goes from first to second gear smooth but when it goes to 2nd to 3rd i get a high rev right before going into 3rd.(Goes up about 500rpms) and than drops down into 3rd and i get a big *** kick sometimes that will jerk the whole truck. I play with the throttle most of the time so i wont get a kick. Meaning if it goes to that high rev i will let go of the gas totally and press it again to try a smoother shift. It does it when it wants to.

Shane here is a right up that Griggs did awhile back about how to adjust the bands.

yes, those are the adjusters for the bands. Adjust those per the steps in the how-to posted.
I couldn't tell you if that will solve your problem but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

You can adjust them if you want. Wont hurt anything.
IMO shift kit and replace the EPC, they have been known to do that.

Thank You Brant and Zach for giving me some correct info on here. Im just trying to figure out if I got the right location part down first. I'll try to adjust the bands first, Zach the way that looks I may be better off ( feeling more comfortable) Taking it to a shop to get the shift kit replacted. Lots of little parts from what I'm seeing........?
