    I am getting an issue with my truck freightliner cascadia 2016 (manual transmission 13 speed)
    When i am shifting in high gears . When the truck gets into higher gear the rpm goes down and when i accelerate is a jerk .so i had to slowly accelerate to avoid the jerk .
    Mechanic checked it but shafts are good and transmission oil is good too .

    Getting no idea what is wrong.plz help

    Could be several things. Hard to say without driving, but don't rule out slack in the power divider.

    It takes a beating with heavy footed drivers

    I just got new deferential last week . There was play in the deferential. Thought that would fix the problem but no
    One more thing i noticed was the problem only comes when the temperature is high suppose more than 10 celcius .
    In winters it drive good .
