I had my transmission rebuilt about 20,000 miles ago and it is working fine for the most part. Occassionally when it shifts into overdrive just after I accelerate rapidly enough to cause the transmission to downshift, there is a noticeable vibration conincident a 'service engine soon' light. The vibration stops after a few seconds, and the service engine light goes out after a day or two. It's done this maybe 4 or 5 times since the tranny rebuild. The U-joints are original to the truck but don't have any obvious slop.
Recently, I towed a trailer about 1500 miles. When I was going uphill and the tranny downshifted, I got the 'service engine light', and it flashed for a few seconds when the engine was really working hard. The light has been on steady since (maybe 1000 miles ago).
The transmission fluid level is normal and looks clean. Transmission seems to be operating normally, and I haven't had the vibration since the light came on this last time.
Suggestions? The transmission rebuild is no longer under warranty.
Thanks!
