Odd shifting issue

[seanellaz]

Bit of an odd one here. This happens ONLY when shifting into 2nd gear, no other gear is affected:

The transmission will lurch / hesitate when shifting when I'm driving differently from how I normally do (due to traffic conditions, like a slow car in front of me off the line).

If I'm able to put my foot down like I usually do, the transmission shifts just fine. No lurching or hesitation. But, living a city you can imagine that I cannot always put the hammer down.

I'm paranoid that the transmission is going out after having a shop claim I needed a new one because this one was "loud". Whatever that means. They were vague and probably just money grabbing.

Any ideas?

I am control freak so mostly run in Sport mode and manually shift. I don't like the auto skip 2nd into 3rd gear when in "D" . Shifts from 3 to 4 seems clunky since new. 37K+ miles and going to change Trans fluid / maybe put on hi capacity pan @ 40K miles..

Update for everyone. I got FORscan and cleared the tables, and disabled adaptive learning altogether. The truck drives like day one now. Somewhere a Ford engineer is crying that I disabled their algorithm.
