My Escalade has 210,000 miles on original engine and transmission. I'm starting to get a rough shift on 3rd gear. The RPMs go up when it shifts. Any ideas?

@grandizer4531 Sometimes mine will kinda "flare" in between 2nd and 3rd. I've heard people say the 3rd gear clutch pack is bad about going out in these. But it's a transmission rebuild to fix that, so hopefully, that's not your issue. I guess the best case might be a solenoid or valve body? Does it slip or just a rough shift? A rough shift is something that could probably be cured with a solenoid. I had a mechanic tell me once to put some seafoam in the trans if I thought mine was having solenoid problems, but I'm not comfortable recommending that because I've never done it myself. Definitely talk to a shop or do some research before trying that Hope your able to get it figured out, and thanks for watching and commenting.

@@hoobsgarage I put a bottle of seafoam trans tune. I'll let you know if it does anything.

@grandizer4531 sounds good definitely keep us updated. The shop that told me to do that said it was the best thing he seen for cleaning up transmission solenoids.
