Nervous, Worried, Help Please!

Hey, yeah, it is definitely not cool. Were you in Power Mode? Mine seemed to only do it while I was driving in Power Mode, and like you said, once I would stop, shut off the VX and start again it was fine. And yes, it was only between 2nd/3rd up and down....

I have yet to switch fluids to synth in the tranny/transfer case but I will soon.

PS - If it is a Chicago thing, it is a direct result of our crappy infrastructure and the relentless traffic!

My '01 was doing this HARD upshifting/downshifting thing last night for the first time. Freaked me out, especially since my 20 yr daughter home from school for the summer has been driving it lately. All the way from River Forest to St Charles it did this hard shifting thing, usually from second to third and then back down. On the way home, nothing. Not a thing. Back to normal.

Maybe this is a Chicago thing??

It's not a Chicago thing, because it happened to me in CT.

It's just a rare, niggling problem - probably a relay that's not kicking over, or one of the 0's in the ECU switches to a 1. No big whoop, as long as it goes away after restarting.
