Does anyone else that is F37'ed have inconsistent shifting? Some days it shifts nice, other days, its like it has to 'think' to shift. There are also time as I come to a stop it feel like the converter unlocks and it shudders.

I changed the fluid couple thousand miles ago with new filters if that matters. Castrol ATF +4.....

Yep.. my CRD does this. Some days it shifts slower and clunks around other days it shifts nice and smooth. I still get the occasional 'wham' at about 55/60 MPH on the highway when coasting.. the tach swings up as well.. This has happened only about 5 times in total since I bought it. When I was towing a trailer it would shift all crazy like as well. Right when I needed the extra torque it would shift to a higher gear and drop out of the powerband.. then it would decide to shift back down.. then up.. weird stuff.

A very long time ago I read that before you trouble shoot any transmission problems you make sure the engine is running correctly :wink: That was more then 40 years ago and still holds true on our CRD's :!: Nix, your trailer towing experience mirrored mine and was cured when I installed a lift pump :lol: Without proper fuel flow a diesel will run like crap, smoke more and use more fuel:shock:
