What, no warranty AFTER ONLY 39000? I have a 97 that is still under
warranty, at least the engine, drive train and major other things. Of course
I paid and extra 2100.00 for the 100000 mile warranty.
Have you checked the fluid levels? I really don't see how low fluid
could cause a shudder in 5th though I would go through the motions of
looking at everything user servicable before heading off to the dealer.
