The tech test drove multiple times the transmission is working and performing as designed. The tech was able to duplicate the customers concern. When in two low speeds at light throttle the engine will start to misfire on all cylinders, the vehicle will start to hesitate and jerk. Then once stopped you start to take off from a stop and it feels like the engine is stalling. Again the tech found multiple and random misfires present. At this time the tech recommend taking to diesel mechanic for further inspections and repairs.
