2023 5.0 shift flare and trans oil level

[sPHYNX_76]

Hi everyone,
Lately I’ve been having this strange flair going from 3-4, in “normal” mode. Doesn’t seem to be there in “sport” mode, for some reason.

I’ve read the CDF drum issues, but mine way built 7/2023, so assuming it has the new drum in there. I checked my trans oil level, it looked slightly low but nothing I would have thought would cause this. Shifting otherwise is not great, but I’m used to a ZF8 tartans so my thought on what’s smooth and what’s not is biased.


Do you think that low oil level could be causing this?

Low fluid can make any transmission shift weird. Did you check the fluid while the trans was full hot and running in park?

Yeah, I did. It’s always doing it at the same rpm, so I’m wondering if it’s just a sticky valve.
