I noticed that if I accelerate slowly from a stop and let the trans shft it shifts smooth. But, if I am going up an incline and the trans is still shifting I can feel a jerking/rumbling in the truck. If I let off of the gas pedal, it will stop. Any idea what this might be. Also, if you may know what it is can you give me a reapir cost on what it maybe.

Thanks,
