When going over 45-50mph the transmission jerks when it tries to shift...does anyone know what could be the problem? I checked the fluid before this happened and it was full.
Full or overfull? and what Lil Guido said we need more info on the truck. Oh and welcome aboard as well!

This is '99 Durango with 5.9. It's the 46re tranny. My wife told me about the problem. I couldn't replicate it when I got home. But it was shifting kind of late (at very high rpm).

I adjusted the TV cable and change the tran fluid/filter and adjusted the bands.

Took it for a drive today and seems to be doing ok. It could shift a little smoother, but it's not bad.

The fluid in the tranny was kind of golden brown with the magnet full of metal shavings. I wonder if the previous owner ever changed the fluid.
 
I recently just changed my fluid, looked like yours. Changing old fluid does make a difference. Mine started to act funny so i changed it and now its golden :mullet:
