Can't figure it out!

my truck is running so good that i just expect something major to go wrong soon. But i have noticed something that i cant figure out. When i'm on the highway i get going about 60-65 the truck has a little hesitation in it. like its trying to change one more gear but its a three speed and it shifts fine. Any ideas ya'll?

Re: Can't figure it out!

how much further down on the gas pedal, before it down shifts for passing? it sounds like when my impala got close to the down shift it hesitated a little, im sure why maybe a fluid pressure change to prep for shift?

Re: Can't figure it out!

Might also check/change tranny fluid and filter if it hasn't been done.
