my only issue so far happened the other day at a light. I was in sport mode, and went to go. Right as the truck was to shift from 1st to 2nd at 30% throttle.....I had to lift because someone pulled in front of me. Lifting at the point of the upshift caused the tranny to get confused and it was stuck in neutral for 3-5 seconds. It then went back to 2nd or 3rd and has been normal ever since.

I’ve had this happen in normal mode. It’s what I meant by the confused on which gear to go into. You feel the truck/transmission kind of slip because it’s not in gear...and then decide to go into whichever one.

Oddly, it doesn’t happen when it’s cold. Only after it’s been sitting at my work for 5-6hrs in 70-80* weather.

The transmission tune just needs adjusted in my opinion.

Mine was built May 20th so the TSB doesn’t apply to it. I’ve noticed rough shifts in Sport mode and every once in awhile 2-4 shifts seem...odd. Almost like the truck doesn’t know which gear to go into.

Ford technicians at two dealerships say its normal and there is no update available. (Has them peove this to me)
