Best Answer

the fluid in the transmission is cold when you start it up and as the truck is used, it heads up and thins out. Your problem is with the rubber rings and gaskets inside the tranny. As the fluid thins out the seals are starting to fail and that causes the shifting component to move during the gear change. It happened to my 1996, the tranny needs to be pulled and overhauled or maybe rebuilt. good luck
