I just got my truck back from dealer because of shifting issues.

With my 2010 F150, I had rough 2-1 downshifts that would shake the truck. Really bad in stop and go traffic. Dealer replaced a valve, don't remember which one. Even after that, still had problems with shifts but not as jarring with the new valve.
New 2012 isn't that smooth either but 2-1 shifts don't slam (even after the valve replacement) like they did on the 2010. 2011 6R80 transmissions had the 1-way clutch changed to make for a better 2-1 shift.
Ford has always been known to have terrible transmissions and I concur. I had to have a new torque converter already on my 2012 F150 and it's not 1 year old yet. It started happening about 3 months after ownership. All good now with the new torque converter but Ford's transmissions are definitely unreliable.

I don't see what's so amusing about having trouble with my trucks. I guess when you start having broken spark plugs or Cam Phaser issues with your truck, it would be in the same mind thought, to have a good laugh over that as well.

Well I got mine back yesterday afternoon and I am not sure if normal or not but now the shift is elongated if that makes sense. Basically it takes longer to shift into second but it isn't a jerk shift like before. I will use it for a few weeks and see how it goes because they told me it might do weird things for the first week. I prefer this over the previous any day though..

Why would i have problems with broken spark plugs or cam phasers with my truck?
