Anyone else have trouble with their transmission jerking sometimes? Ifso did you have it checked out by Ford?

 

Are you certain it is the transmission? I thought my 2001 had a failing transmission. It had a slight intermittent jerk when going up a slight grade and under very moderate acceleration. Turned out to be an engine cylinder misfire. I replaced all of the spark plugs and the problem went away. I believe others have experienced coil problems.

 

I have the exact same problem. Also the other day I took off from a dead stop and the truck hesitated badly and the CEL was blinking. I pulled over and the light turned off. The owners manual says a blinking CEL indicates a misfire. Been fine since but it does still jerk like when going up a hill. I thought it might me the tranny but maybe not. I have also had 4 leaking injectors replaced. I wonder if I have coil problems too. I only 3700 miles on this pig. What a joke.

 

'03 with less than 45K and it started the jerk at start off and in OD at about 60 MPH. Ended up being plugs.

 

I had a bad #4 coil wire that caused a slight hesitation kind of feel when cruising. Take it to Ford and they’ll know in a heartbeat once they put it on the WDS

 

Spark plugs?! These are special space age spark plugs, they last 100K miles.

 

LMAO!

 

What in the sam hell is a WDS?

 

Ford WDS (Worldwide Diagnostic System)

 

What year is your truck?
When does it jerk the most? Gear change's? turning? or towing?
