302 question-- in my truck though


hey guys... when im driving down the highway usually in overdrive so not accelerating sometimes i get a vibration i think in the tranny im not sure though its like a 4 second spurt if i let it go, but if i lift off the gas it stops... or step on the gas to downshift it will stop too.... could it be because i have 35s and the tranny is upshifting too early?

also... sometimes downshifting it will get a large clunk.. but others smooth as new...

and one more thing... since i bought it the water temp gauge always just kinda bounces back and forth through the normal range... never stabilizes out... but never over heats... gets up there, then cools off, then up then down... bad sending unit??

thanks guys
