"Rough shifting & shudder in certain gears started about 160000 miles. Took the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection. They were unable to pinpoint the problem but recommend continuing to drive with it until it gets worse. Problem has stayed roughly constant since then. Planning to keep it as is until we replace the vehicle at about 200000 miles"
