Have a 96, 4.0 ohv, 114000 miles on it. Transmission flares when shifting from 2nd to 3rd under light load. This does not happen all the time, but enough to have me worried. Seems to happen only when trans is at operating temp, never when cold. Have read up on this problem, some say a bad gasket on the valve body or loose valve body bolts will cause this. I have a B&M Shift-Plus electronic shift kit that is supposed to tighten up the shift. Would it help to install it? I don't hot rod, just want max life out of the truck. Thanks, Jack
