Sometime when shifted to reverse the vehicle with not move in reverse. Indicator shows reverse. Then about 5 to 10 seconds later the vehicle will just shift in reverse. There is a fairly decent knock when it shifts.

Stupid transmission, won't shift right. While driving down the road at constant speed it feels like its constantly in and out of gears. And I just happen to live on a hill, boy is that fun, going up the hill the trans won't downshift, just keeps revving and then does a downshift causing a nice smoke show. Did I mention I hate this truck!!!
