Q: Delayed/Rough Shifting?
Truck recently underwent a repair for a broken snap ring in the transfer case that caused unwanted ABS feedback and occasional slips out of gear. These issues were addressed but shortly afterward I began to notice some long delayed shifts upon acceleration from stop as well as rpms that were much higher than should be; hitting close to 3000rpm just to get to 30mph. Occasionally when goosed, it'll give a small bump, after holding in a gear for an abnormally long time. Any advice?
