Transmission downshifting issues

[Goosetuned]

So hang on, I'm a bit confused. Some people here are saying that their transmissions are getting replaced (common sense should tell us because of a fault in them), but you're recommending a tuning instead?

This has been the case for years with the 10R transmissions. OEM shift logic has been an issue for a long time, aftermarket tuning has helped.

I understand the common sense part for sure, but I would also like to see what the issues are and what problems they are causing. If it's anything like we've seen on other F150 raptors over the last decade, tuning fixes it.

I posted this in another thread about my transmission issues that required a third transmission replacement in my truck in under a year.

This is wild, that's too many failures.

Also, the fluid should be between 2-3, 2.5 is perfect. 4 is too low.

On this next trans try that to start.

Right?!
I am wondering if it is a tuning issue and the transmission faults internally are a result of transmission shifting out of tune with engine if that is possible.
The rough downshifting and stalls coming to a stop started again right after driving the 1000 miles "adaptive drive cycle" as the service tech put it learns to adjust shifting to my driving? 3 transmissions with same mechanical faults in under a year? In one vehicle? What are the odds ?

Yeah there has to be something else going on

2024 Ranger XLT. I just completed a 6000 mile road trip to Florida and back. Almost all highway driving. i experienced what I would consider jerky/clunky downshifting at highway speeds when downshifting from top gear to a lower gear for passing or hill climb. I would expect much smoother performance from the 10 speed transmission. I understand the turbo may lag a bit and cause a sudden burst of power/torque when it kicks in. Is this normal for these transmissions? or is this something that i need to have the dealer address. Thanks

I did a road trip from ny to florida and back. by the time I got back my transmission was really shifting harshly. went to the dealer and they said they changed a selonoid and that the transmission lines had air in them. they changed the fluid and it seems better now, but I feel like its coming back.

I have 2024 xlt 2.7L. As soon as I tuned the truck it was fixed within one tank of gas

My Dealer changed the valve body and reset the controller. I cannot say it has fixed the problem yet as i have not gone on a road trip since. Around town it seems kind of herky jerky and that could be engine related. the people here saying a tune fixed it may be on to something

Does it happened in all drive modes? eco/normal/sport? That might help to see if it software or hardware.

I have just started experimenting in different modes. it seems better in Sport mode. I am usu. in normal mode when driving and thats where i experience the issues.
