96 F-150 Tranny shudder at 45 mph
I have a 96 F-150 5.0, auto trans (with factory cooler) 4 wheel drive. It has about 95K miles.
I'm getting a vibration that comes on at about 45 mph, and goes away at 50 mph. I'm pretty certain it's in the transmission, because if I take it out of OD when it's vibrating, it goes away instantly. If I take it out of OD before it vibrates, it never happens.
Last tranny service was at about 50K, so I'm due. Is this a symptom of a bigger problem? I'm not certain which trans I have but can find out if that would help any of you experts.

Thanks guys, I will throw a new set of plugs and wires at it when I get back from vacation. (no, we're not taking the truck.)
What you're saying is starting to make a LOT of sense, since I just noticed the last couple of days that I'm getting the shudder at about 1500 rpm in the regular gears w/o OD.
I'll post the results
Thanks again

Dirtydog and Inlinesix- you guys are great!!!!!!! Put new plugs and wires on it, and my shudder is completely gone. As expected, I got some extra power (And probably mileage) in the deal.
I REALLY appreciate your input, guys. I was starting to get scared about the transmission.
Thank you doesn't begin to cover it.
