whenever I go about ten miles or more on the highway when I get off at the exit and completely stop the truck, whenever I start going again the transmission jerks really hard when it shifts. Feels like the torque converter is locking up or like popping a clutch. It only does it when I get off of the highway. I can drive around town all day and it never happens. When I'm getting off the highway if I get the truck going about 15-20mph and hit the gas again so that it downshifts it usually won't do it. Or if I can just roll through the stop light at the exit. Also I can manually downshift to 2nd or 1st gearwhile stopping and then put it back into drive and it does fine.
