Does this happen when the tranny does the shifting? My problem occurs
at WOT and when manually shifting at about 5300 rpm. I do have the Transgo
kit
in and the problem began after it was put in. At part throttle, manual and
auto. shifting is aok.

If you do find out what is causing the problem, I'd be really interested
in finding what was causing your problem. Thanks.
