I've got about 140K on this car and overall it's very reliable. However, lately it's been hesitating when shifting from second to third at around 35MPH.

It does it most on one hill near my house where there's a slight downgrade then an upgrade. There's a big "clunk" when I start to climb the hill after the downgrade.

Going up hills from 20MPH or so is no problem. The shift is fine. It seems like if it has to go from third back to second and then to third again, then the problem kicks in.

Any idea what I might be able to do to fix this?
