at 3rd and 4th gear problem

i have the same problem that everybody else seems to have, when it shifts to 3rd and 4th the car rattles and shakes, i changed the gear pressure sensors but that only helped a little and i also changed the transmission fluid 1x refill what else can i do to fix it, im planning on doing another refill next time i change my oil and then one more time to make it 3x

Yes, I works like a charm. Make sure when you go to buy it that it says "Friction modified" on the bottle. Otherwise it isn't the right one. I got mine at a Cadillac dealer.
