Automatic shifting really harshly in Sport mode

[MCS]

Hello All,
I have only 350 miles with my mustang gt and i have the same problem.
I went back to the dealer and the engineer told me that "its normal and the adaptive transmission " will eventually "adapt". So let's wait a little. Of course, i don't want to go more than 300rpm but im trying the sport mode from time to time.
Anyway, it is disturbing when it shifts from 3rd to 4th.

So they can set the adaptive trans-learn mode when the car is new. If someone has test driven the shit out of it and hammered it that is what it adapts to. Ask Ford to reset it and follow their instructions during your break-in period.

when i bought it had only 6 miles on it, but as you said maybe, someone "test drive" it.
I will ask the dealer. Thank you very much for the response.

I would go back and demand that they check the transmission fluid level. If they won't, then find a dealer who will.

I just had a tsb done last week for a software flash to help with 3-4 and 4-5 harshness and so far it is much improved. It’s funny I keep bracing for it since I had become so used to it.

Would you happen to have the number of that tsb?

Had it done to mine yesterday. And I made them check my fluid too. It was OK. I was kinda surprised.

Yes here it is.. My fluid level was checked a year or two ago and was okay.

Mine has an issue going from 1st to 2nd in sport mode where it pauses trying to engage the gear but afterwards is completely fine.

Mine in Sport+ Mode and only if I use the paddles sometimes remains stuck in gear, usually the lower ones, If I push to higher RPMs.

For example: I put her in Sport +, gear lever in S and I downshift to second she remains stuck in second even if I ask for third via the paddles. I put the back the shifter in D (but mode stays in Sport+) the she goes to third.
If I use the paddles in D she responds fine. Go figure.
