Shifting into Drive

[GooseTuned]

I did a goosetune with just the standard Cobb TCM tune and the truck really feels alive now.
@wgr73 can help you out and is great to work with!

Thanks man!

Just a quick up date. Picked up the truck this afternoon and the Ford dealer was able reset the pcm/tcm and update the new shifting software. I guess the sequence involved is temperature sensitive so they had do it twice before it was all set. Now she works and shifts perfect. Thank you all for the assistance. Love the forum for all its help and information.

I was leaving a local brewery tonight ( No judgment, I was only buying for future consumption! ) jumped in, started truck, and pretty quickly went park to drive. It was decidedly not smooth. Idle was fairly low, and the truck was still warm, only down about 10 minutes, but normally I warm up the truck remotely.

If I can break out my tablet I’ll fire up FORSCAN and make use of it.

I second (or 3rd) doing a reset. Mine would BANG the 1-2 shift obnoxiously. I reset the KAM for the PCM and TCM, and its been butter ever since

How did you do the reset?

I've noticed a long delay when going from reverse to drive and vice versa. Like a couple of seconds sometimes. I wonder if it's the same problem. I don't hit the gas until I feel the tranny engage, but I bet if I did hit it early it would bang when it finally engaged. I'll have to try it and see. It would be nice to fix it if I can. I figured it was just a byproduct of all the damn computers and thus normal operation.

I’ve had a little bit of this as well. Happened twice in the last month. Pretty violent but seems like no ill affects at the moment. I do have an appointment to see the transmission guy at Ford Thursday to check it out though.

mine were as I was pulling into a spot and over shot it a foot or so and was just backing up that foot. Really hard shifts going into reverse. Shook the truck

Just got my truck back after 4 days at my local dealer. The transmission valve body had to be replaced. Seems to shift well now.

Can I ask what yours was doing specifically? Mine has the newest PCM and TCM update. I have the "Clunk" engagement from Park to Drive Only. Also noticed a few harsh down shift in low gears. Dealer stated it could be Valve Body.

I always use my remote when walking to the car. Fire it up and it allows the engine to get 5-10 seconds of run time before I get in and drive away. Reduces that temptation to start and go. That has seem to cure “most” cold issues on my cars, plus it makes me feel like I care. I am so old school at times

I had this very intermittently in the past, and tried the Ford trans updates but it was only temporary and would always come back. I installed the Cobb TCM tune and perfect ever since. So to me, this is programming related.

So better trans operation and issue fixed- a win-win
