i can here tranny fluid in the morning i think???

for some odd reason I have started hearing a fluid noise like fluid was spraying on the bottom of my cab or like water was running I can hear this only after the truck has bean sitting for a while like a couple of hours there are no leaks and once I started noticing this my transmission has started shifting rough only for the first couple of shifts than its fine. So I assume they have something to do with each other but I don’t know

It's probably water/coolant in the heater core.

A couple of ideas , if it is the trans. then it might be that air getting in causing the noise going through , the problum is figuring that out ,{ maybe too much or to little fluid] the next might be , if yours is like mine in that if it has a temp. sensor that lets the O.D. work after it warms up, I made a tee in the coolant line to radiator for my gauge in the spring and now thats it getting cooler out I notice that I have to drive a couple miles before the trans. starts to shift normal , what I was going to do for a test is I have a magnetic heater that I was going to put on the pan over night and see if there is a differance. Hope this may help.
