Transmission slips, chatters, surges, and has moved truck ahead a few feet (into intersection) starts to slip leaves you sitting in traffic and won't move for a few seconds. It goes into a neutral state slams into gears so hard it causes you to lose control in slick conditions. It has also stuck in between gears causing us to have to stop shut the truck off and restart to get going again. *tr
