New TSB - Harsh Shifts - Covering (After 8-16-22) 22-23 Rangers Only

[airline tech]

As I understood the latest TSB was to address the F clutches wearing into the un-anodized outer shell. With the updated outer shell now being anodized and supposedly harder could the updated clutches and plates be a different steel material more compatible with the anodized shell and not so much the friction material being changed?

Yes - I think the issue is a combination of both.
The outer shell (Trash Can) gets nicked or galled from the friction plates, they hang up and then burn up, the prior TSB’s only had a revised can this TSB adds a revised set of plates along with the can.
I can assume some kind of material change - to match the can (fitment)

Have you tried resetting the KAM and performed the Adaptive Learning Drive Cycle Procedure? It helped my truck. Smoothed everything right out. Anytime you change the fluid repair the transmission you should perform the procedure It resets and adjusts the transmission to the new
parts. Over time as your parts wore, the transmission adjusted timing to keep timings within tolerances. Your new fluid and parts are operating more efficiently and you need to remove the old settings and train it for the new. You think your mechanic would have performed this procedure.

See the attached PDF.

I'm sure he did as I was he stated that with the reset he did it will take 500-1,000 miles to relearn and get to where it should be.

Once I completed the process I didn't need any further driving time for the transmission to adjust itself. It was an immediate correction. You may get by with doing just the Adaptive Learning Drive Cycle Procedure on page 2. All you need is a little drive time and a nice flat stretch of road to perform the procedure. Might be worth a try.

It worked for me.
