whats the "tooth-rattling shifts"?
The shifts are hard, even pretty violent jerks when the tranny is shifting up and /or down. People have had sporadic episodes where is does it some of the time. Do a search on mode switch. When mine was going out, my truck started bucking HARD shifting up and down, after starting it up in the morning. I limped it to the mechanic right then and there. I noticed that the gear indicator lights on the dash would flicker (sometimes showing the wrong gear) as I put her into Drive or park.
