What should I look at with the awd system?

You really need to follow the link I posted pages back and read as much as you can.

THIS. Ryan knows his shit....in particular If it wears an oval.

So what's happening after fourth gear? What's the shudder I feel?

and are you referring to overdrive/5th as the torque converter? Tryna get my terminology correct

Could the "shuddering" be it misfiring?

My knowledge is limited but it doesn't feel like a misfire.

But you're right, I'll read those first; This is my first job I've ever worked 60hr weeks, I've been super lazy

Post back after that =]

Still super confused.

Would a video of my tach and speeedo first through fifth help? I never questioned it being a 98 untio you asked me if I was sure lol

It doesn't matter the year. The 5L Windsor never had a 5 speed auto behind it. Never.

If you have a 5 speed, you have a 4L V6 or the 4.6 V8. Again, impossible to confuse them.

Definitely have the 5.0

I think terminology is what's killing me here.

However many gears, there's a wild shudder occasionally into the last gear

I would have the transmission fully serviced before making any drastic changes.

At least then you will know what you are dealing with.

I think you need to just take it to a professional mechanic to get an accurate diagnosis. If you are in need of a trustworthy mechanic I can give you the contact info for my dad's shop. I think you'll end up chasing your tail trying to figure this one out on your own.

Yeah, it sounds way more involved than I would have hoped. Wish me luck .-.

I didn't go back and read everything.

What does the fluid color look like?

It NEVER shudders when overdrive is off and only slips when the engine has been warmed up for some time

Misfires a lot less when I run premium in it I've noticed

What does the fluid color look like?

And smell like...

don't ask Mikey those questions about trannies, I don't think any of us have the stomach for his answer...
