So when the truck is cold, sometimes the motor will stumble and/or stall. It seems to be idling fine and has lots of power. I think it may be related to the trans as it takes a few seconds after being in neutral for the trans to move the truck. It used to be worse. I would get a shudder and take a long time to get into gear before. I changed the fluid/filter and it seemed to get better - but the old fluid and filter were clean. The it was good for a while, but started slipping again. This time the fluid was low. Like 3 quarts. The truck only has 80,000 miles on it, and I see no leaks and notice no smoke as if it was getting sucked into the motor or something weird.

I added fluid and it got better, but still is slow to get into gear and stalls. But is still better than when the problem first appeared. I am scratching my head on this.


I forgot to add - the stalling is when I come to a stop. Not when I start the car or when it's idling or driving.
