03 Yukon first to second shift not right

[Oh three yukon]

I just bought a 03 Yukon with 97000 miles on it. When I test drove it the trans shifted normal. After one day it now sometimes when it shifts from first to second the rpms will hang a bit then it will shift with a small jerk. It does not do it all the time. All the other gears seem to be normal..does this sound like a servo prob or something more serious


Thanks

That doesn't neecessarily have to be an issue. Does it have a shift kit in it?

no shift Kit

My 03 tahoe does the same thing... I've been told its nothing serious, and nothing I need to worry about.

Who knows...

Did you check the fluid level? After I did my trans flush, my fluid was a little low and did something similar. Once I topped it off and got all the air out of the system, it shifts fine. Bottom line, check the fluid level

It sounds like the tow haul button is on. That's what my truck does when i have that button turned on!! When it happens try hitting that button and see if it makes a difference.

I have experienced this too, and was also told (by my Transmission guy) not to worry about it either. He spoke very highly of our trans (he said he regularly sees them hit 250,000 miles before they need replaced). His exact advice to me was: "Drive it until it dies. It's not worth messing with until then" (as long as you care for it of course).

My advice would be to check the fluid level, color and smell. If it's low, too full, dirty, or burnt, then address those issues. Otherwise, don't worry too much (unless it starts thowing codes). That's my 2 cents anyway.

I already checked fluid color and all everything is fine

I wouldn't worry too much then.
