10 speed 2023 f150 XLT 5.0

[Aajbenn]

Hello, I know as much as this topic gets talked about on here and read multiple posts about the transmission itself but I’m honestly lost on what to do i recently bought a brand new f150 back in June and ever since then I’ve put about 2400km on it since then and when I first got it never noticed much going on or any jerky shifts or downshifts but as I got closer to 1,000km at the time I was noticing weird behaviour so I took it in they told me it was half a quart low on fluid so they topped it up and that was all. After that it seemed like there was a very small delay whenever it would shift into 5th depending on my throttle. It would shift into 5th at 31km/h or past that depending on my throttle as I said I found that odd. On top of that the harsh downshifting like you’re being rear ended. I gave it a good month before I called back to mention that this was happening so they took it in and reset the pcm/tcm and gave it back and told me if my issues continue to bring it back in a couple weeks. Got it back noticed smooth shifting but still that slight delay into 5th/10th. In anyway is that normal and I’m just being paranoid? It’s like under normal slow acceleration it hits 5th with no issues but the min I wanna drive a bit faster and not like a grandpa it just gets confused. The harsh downshifts are still there feel even more jerky then before it was reset. As my route to work I have to hit the highway for a sort bit and on that drive it feels like going into 8th gear is extremely slow it’ll hold 7th till it finally shifts best way I can truly explain it. When any other time it hits 8th at 55km/h not 67. Hope I explained this well enough just want some advice and just hope I’m just being a paranoid owner of this truck. Put about 150km on it since the reset to get it going again and to see if there was a noticeable difference. The upshifts have changed just not the downshifts. 1-3 clunks also come and go and no sport or tow and even eco doesn’t change anything if anything the downshifts are even more jerky. Also very low on km but being thrown around when slowing down and you know it’s coming every time isn’t enjoyable at all and most can agree.

Try driving in sport mode for a few weeks. I did this and the tranny relearned driving patterns. Seems to be better after that.

Huh, Do you know why it does that? You’d think bouncing through all the gears would be best for it but yet again normal mode is doing its best to get to 10th. Guess depending on the gear ratio see some people are in 10th around 55 while I’m at 8th. I don’t hit 10th till I’m on a flat service and past 80km/h. So I suppose what I’m experiencing isn’t somewhat normal doesn’t bang or anything just a slight jerk when it doesn’t hit 5th till 35/36km then 6th at 40km seems like there’s a slight jerk if I’m accelerating quite quickly. Do it everyday and it still doesn’t learn that. Under decent acceleration it’ll hit 5th at 31km as I said just don’t want anything going to shit but yet again nobody is in control of that. Thanks for the reply btw hope to see if anyone else has this and it’s “normal”

No idea why it does it. Sport mode seems to hit all gears and not skip them. I just use sport mode every few months. Too many electronics now days.

I haven’t tried sport since the reset I remember previously it would still skip second no matter what. Only ever see second when I’m braking slow. See what happens tomorrow

if you have forscan reset the transmission adaptations and drive it like you stole it after that

It was reset as I said drive it how I normally do and still get what I said

interesting, I usually drive it hard for awhile and when driven normal it feels smoother

So I suppose what I’m experiencing isn’t normal at all. I seen a post saying sluggish shifts were a thing but I figured I’d ask on here

Best is to take it back and complain so they can look at it again. most importantly, document it

Figured that was gonna happen they told me to give it a couple weeks before but if they’re still present something is wrong. They’re gonna be tired of seeing my face soon lol

Thanks, yeah hopefully have no idea what causes this pretty frustrating 70 grand on a truck just to keep taking it to ford
