Hi guys. I haven't been on the forums much because my truck has been running well 
But just recently I started having transmission troubles. When under med-high RPMs I get a bad clunk and mis shift between 5th and 6th gear. It only happens when you step on the throttle to pass and it switches from 5-6 under power. If I make sure to let of the gas before I sense the shift it is ok.
Any ideas what I am in for? Is there anything worth repairing at this point? Do you think it will hold up ? Everything else on the car is in great condition and I have taken great care of it for the last 11 years. But I know 163K miles is starting to have it's effects. I've replaced the water pump and timing belt twice for routine mx.
With a fresh set of tires, air suspension, tow package, it is worth $7,300 used at this point. Who is going to buy it with a bad shift under power? Might be worth more for parts?
