Description of the problem	After my truck was sitting without starting for a couple of days, it would not go into reverse. I would hit the accelerator and the truck would not move. After a while, it would start to sift into gear with a very loud noise. I also noticed, that when i was coming to a stop, but didn't completely stop, the transmission would hit very hard upon acceleration. I have taken it to the shop three times. The first time i was told that since there was no code, that it was fine. I stated that if it was a mechanical issue, that you may not get a code. For instance, if you lose a tire on the road. The second time, they adjusted the electronic shifter, but it didn't help. The third time, they changed the filter, but only put silicone on the pan with no gasket. I was told that the tranny had a problem with the filter allowing the torque converter to back bleed and that they put in a filter with a check valve to fix the problem. I now have more power, but i am still getting some hard shifting when i slow down and then speed up. The problem started at 20,000 miles.
