Tranny shivering

Alright this is kind of hard to explain to bare with me, When in in about 3 gear and the rpms are low the truck will start to stumble even if i put my foot to the floor it will stumble then down shift then run fine. Its weird i checked the tranny fluid its fine not burnt ( i might replace it anyways). Once the rpms get higher it will run fine. I have a E4OD tranny, any ideas?

You have to figure out if it's the tranny or an engine miss.

Did you route the plug wires exactly as prescribed? If not, you could be getting inductive crossfire. Did you use any dielectric grease in the wire boots at both ends?

Yep routed them exactly as they came off and i used dielectric grease on the boots and plug's and antiseeze on the threads. Im stumped im probably going to bring it into my ford mechanic teacher.

You might want to do a compression test - you may have some burned valves.
