Tranny Slipping?!?

[6LMonster]

Just a quick question: When my '96 shifts from 2nd to 3rd it "Shifts" then 3 or 4 seconds later it thumps into gear?!? Just a little confused. I have 122k on the truck. You feel it shift from 2nd to 3rd then it is followed by a secondary shift?!? Weird. Help!

Sounds like its shifting into 3rd and then the torque converter is locking, are the rpms flaring when it does it?

I think you are right. The TC is locking up after the second "shift" because the RPMs drop and it is almost like the truck bogs down a little.

So...what would this mean? Bad TC?

Is there anything I can do to help this situation??
