2000f150 jerks and stutters when it shifts out OD

It sounds like the transmission is ready for a overhaul visit a transmission shop for an estimate.

I did every thing short of rebuilding the trans and it still wasn't right, then I realized that it had an overdrive button under the rear wiper/washer buttons. When I pushed it, it seemed to stop jerking but it still would drop into second-limp mode. I am going to replace that switch as it looks like a transistor radio inside.I believe I may have stumbled across the problem. Pushing the OD button did make every thing better for a little while but the light didn't work and it didn't click like a normal swiych/button would do.Wish me luck. ILUno

You'll need someone to check the body computer for trouble codes to figure out the problem.

Hello
The Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.

These cars are known for transmission problems. I was told it was a design flaw. Nearly all of these vehicles require new/rebuild on transmissions at just about this many miles. My mother's also failed at that mileage, but hers completely failed. Plan on rebuilding/replacing this tranny.

Determine whether the jerking is engine or transmission related. One way to determine if it is the transmission lock up converter is acting erratically is to down shift out of OD. And see if jerking persist. If it goes away suspect transmission to have problems with torque converter or TCC solenoid . If it doesn't go away determine whether or not the engine sounds to be misfiring. If so vehicle may require a tune up. Many vehicles can be diagnosed for free at your local Auto Zone.

You should replace the fuse or it could have just been a minor mishap that was not right. I would take it to a mechanic and get it checked out though to be sure. Hope this helps?!

I would start with a tuneup and timing check as these are the most likely causes. You could also have a loose motor/trans mount too

change the idle air control valve its going bad or just take it apart and clean it with carb cleaner.
