Default 2002 transmission problem?

I have a 2002 XLT 4WD, V6 and there's a noticeble shudder as the tranmission
shifts into final gear (5th).
Has anyone else had this problem and was ford able to resolve the issue? I
am now at 39K mikes so no warranty.

Thanks in advace for replies.

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.

I have the same problem with my 2001 Explorer Sport V6. Had the
"Transmission Serviced" at the 30,000mile dealer service interval.
They screwed it up Real Well. I think they put ATF in instead of the
"Mercon-V(5)" fluid that the dip-stick requires to be used. The Dealer
still didn't fix the shudder, and my fuel mileage went from 330mi/tank
to 230mi/tank. NICE. So Don't get your transmission back flushed and
serviced, this will not fix the problem.
