Another problem and slightly more expensive to fix is a bad torque converter. This converter has a locking clutch inside to provide a direct drive and thereby increase fuel economy. The high torsionals from the diesel tend to hammer the torsional vibration damper in this locking clutch. The result is lock and unlock of this clutch and jerky operation. Fix is to replace the converter and hope that the contaminates from the clutch have not done a number on the other components, hard parts, in the tranny.

One way to check by removing the inspection cover at the front of the transmission and rear of the engine to inspect the front of the converter. If the converter face out near the outer diameter has turned blue from heat it is time to change the converter. If not then sometimes you can fix by simply changing the 12 quarts of transmssion fluid. DO NOT go for the fluid exchange option. Drain and refill using new fluid or Mercon (Not Mercon V). Drop the pan and clean thouroughly and install a new suction strainer.
