Have I ruined the transmission all together??

[DGFoster]

Hi all,I took a trip on friday to Traverse City Michigan,from Fenton Michigan,about 420 miles round trip,I went up with just the truck,not hauling anything.
I have taken the VA box off so not to put anymore pressure on the weekening TC,but when I got off of US 10 which is the expressway and got on a two lang M 115,I noticed the transmission was shuddering more than normal,now I got the DTT TC and VB on the way.
Have I done more damage to the transmission,will it need more than a new TC and VB,seems to shudder in every gear exept on take off,it is fine when just getting rolling,but you can feel it more and more in every gear.
Any feed back would be appreciated. . Thanks

Dave:

At 98,000 miles my truck started the
"shuddering" you described. It
got progressively worse in each gear
and eventually started slipping real
bad until I did the overhaul (i. e.
new TC, VB, seals, clutch packs etc. )

I would definitely have it checked!
My metal friction plates were worn
and warped, the seals were pretty hard
and the TC was blue from all the heat etc.

I almost waited "too long" on mine.
Don't make the same mistake I did!

Good luck!
