My Mustang 2002 V6 feels like it hesitates or the transmission shifts up and down at 40 to 50 MPH when going up a hill. |

How long has it been since you changed the transmission fluid? I changed my auto every year and went no longer than 24k miles~ its not to expensive and it REALLY makes them last longer. I would try this to see if it firms it up.

I own an '02 V6 Mustang with the same problem. I changed the transmission fluid a couple of weeks ago and it's still happening. I just bought the car in November, and it still has a warranty on it, so I'm planning to have it checked out soon.
I'm hoping the transmission isn't going to drop out of it. It already had high milage when I bought the car, and I worked as a merchandiser and put a lot of miles on the car in the past 6 months.
Other than it slipping between 40-50 mph, the car runs great. |

My Mustang mostly hesitates when under load (going up a hill). The car doesn't shake. It feels like a small push - two to three times then it stops. It has plenty of power and if I raise the speed of the vehicle it stops. I have already replaced the spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter and cleaned the MAF sensor. |

im going to point to the transmission but there are many variables in that area, dont commit to paying for anything yet see what ford says first.
