I've been having a odd transmission issue on my 11' 5.0 SC. Under load in 1 & 2 I get a groaning/slight grinding noise. It is more pronounced as the load is increased, say heading up a steep hill. I also have very slightly firm shifts. My mechanic has done a fluid/filter change along with sealing sleeves on the solenoids and replacement of the common problematic solenoids. Has anyone ever heard of this problem? I have searched.

Just a guess but try to see if you have a vibrating/resonating under shield or heat shield.... Pete

I just crawled all over the place pulling and pushing on all the shields and they seems quite secured. Dang, I guess its back to the mechanics.
