Rough Shifting 1st - 2nd gear

[B Miller]

Does anyone else have a rough or slow shift pattern from 1st to 2nd gear? Or a delay in acceleration when coming from a stop? I feel like I missed an update or something. Any advice will help. Thank you all!

Have you pulled the battery or anything recently that would send the trans into relearn?

May be time to check the fluid level in the trans too.

I had a problem with my 2021 bronco Badlands Sasquatch shifting very hard and aggressively from second gear to third gear. Took it to the dealer and they fixed it under warranty.

You can reset the shift profile with Forscan. I do this every 5-10k miles, for some reason my 1-2 shift gets worse after 4 wheeling.

Used to be if you pulled the battery cable for a few minutes it would reset the adaptive trans learning too - not sure if it still does or not

Brought my 2021 Badlands Sasquatch in for a 60k checkup this week. I told them my shifting was very clunky between 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. When I got the car back, they said they did not observe any issues. I did have them flush the transmission. Not sure what else they may have done to make a difference - but the shifting is back to normal again.

I have a BB 2025 where I've noticed slippage between 1st & 2nd shifting on occasion. Not all the time though. This has been in "Normal mode". Haven't really tried "Sport mode" at all. If I feel it again I'm taking it in the have the vehicle looked at the dealer. Bronco only has 380 miles.

You can try to relearn. I am speaking from a Bronco manual owner, but have a Ranger Tremor with a 10R80, Bronco's auto cousin. Check the fluid level and make sure it is at temp and correct. Factory really under filed a lot of Rangers. Ford pretty much replaced all internals in my 10R80 a couple of months ago, save the valve body (go figure). If it's under warranty, take it in and let them document and sort it out.
