Hard shift problems *solution*

[Missmy3/4ton]

If you reset adaptive shift strategy, Ford says it’s very important that you follow the reset procedure closely. Which involves accelerating and decelerating several times. I’d have to look up exactly how it tells you, but just resetting it and the driving like a grandma isn’t going to be a lasting fix.

Did you ever find this procedure?

Thanks! Very interesting they want you to do the shift cycle 7 times in total. Seems like a pretty easy process overall.

As long as you can find a stretch of road to do it on without pissing other drivers off.

Has anyone notice that the temperature gauge for there transmission is a quarter high. My 2015 always had it in the middle and I’m just wondering if this is normal for my 21

Mine is right in the middle when warmed up but takes a long time to get there.

There is a TSB for updating the PCM software to fix the 1-3 shift. I posted it in the powerboost forum.

If you have been a victim of your truck shifting hard or lurching in any gears it is probably due to the truck being “hot rodded” or accelerating hard right off the transportation truck. Not uncommon for a dealer to test out the “first of its kind” when it comes to power and performance. My truck being the first powerboost to hit the ground in nw florida it had a good bit of miles on it. (60)

from day one I have experienced hard shift from 1-3 and from 4-5. The other day using forscan, I was able to “reset” the shift learning pattern. I will add screen shots later of what the actual page looks like.

I have not had a bad shift since I reset the module. Looks like problems solved. Roughly 600 miles since the reset.

Hello sir. I’m new to the forum and have the same issue with my ‘18 F-150 5.0. Will the forscan device you mentioned work on my model? If so, do you have a product link or model for your forscan device?

Thank you.

This worked for a few months, looks like the hard downshift from 5 returned for me.
