A big part of me wants you to be right. But when everyone says their transmission is very smooth, and mine jerks me around on the downshifts, I just have to believe something is wrong. Whether that be a hardware, software, or temperate issue I do not know.Characteristic of the trans. It does not sound like there is anything "wrong" with your car.
I would not label the 10r80 a "smooth" downshifting trans.
Personally, Ive learned to drive around it.
Haha I also drive around the problem to, but I shouldn't have to. I can avoid it by never slowing down or stopping. But at the end of the day, its going to happen and be unpleasant.
Want to trade?My car does not have hard downshifts when in normal drive mode. The downshifts are very smooth.
From what I have gathered over the almost year of owning this car and reading countless posts about the 10R80, seems to me that about 7/10 have a smooth transmission while the other 3/10 have nothing but problems or complaints.
Mine accelerates and upshifts wonderfully, but the downshifts? They are genuinely awful, so bad in fact I cant see how Ford would release such a bad product.
Without a doubt, the 10R80 is my least favorite transmission I have ever used.
