shuttles between first and second. most of the time you have to lift on throttle to get it to shift.

Truck shuttle shifts under no load and light steady throttle. Heavier throttle eliminates it and only

At slower speeds around 12 to 18 mph, I experience a slipping feeling in the transmission. It feels like it is searching for a gear and doesn't lock up positively into second gear.

problem shifting between first and second gear. Solution, pressure solenoid replaced and shift kit performed. It probably would have been fine with just replacing the pressure solenoid, but I already had it open so I put in a shift kit. now it shifts so well that I foreget it ever had a problem.
