So about a year ago my truck started having trouble shifting (Cant remember what started it). When going into reverse it hesitates then slams into gear. Also, when driving it will go into a "free rev" state when going from 1st to 2nd only. But when it goes from 2 - 3, 3 - 4 etc it will "shudder" 85% of the time. Also, when I get on the gas it slips. When that happens it almost feels like its the rear-end but maybe its a mix of both? Also, Ive thrown 3 O/D Off codes but havent had them pulled to see what they were. Its going into get the fluid changed tomorrow and im going to ask them to check U joints and rear-end. so hopefully ill be able to tell something by the fluid. Anyone had these problems and found out what was wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
 
I've had similar problems and my truck is in the process of getting a rebuilt transmission right now. Mine would slip between 2nd and 3rd and the o/d light would flash. Turned out it was a valve sticking and it sounds like a similar problem that you're having. If thats what it is you may get away with a new valve or valve body
