On a couple of occasions, I've noticed an odd transmission behavior and wondered if anyone else had experienced this.

The two times it has happened were both right after I started it. It was in the driveway, I started it and then pulled out (didn't really let it warm up at all). When I went to pull out of the driveway into the street, the transmission kind of didn't engage and slipped back a bit before it started going. That is the ONLY time I've had it happen - right after starting the truck.

I do remember a couple of reviews talking about something similar when going offroad (and my driveway is uphill when I go out). I wonder if it is the same thing? But only why when it is cold?

Anyone have any similar experience? It doesn't really worry me since it only happens cold, but it is kind of odd.

Thanks

How would I know? It is odd that I only have felt it a couple of times now and I pull out of my driveway every day. It isn't a big thing at this point, just kind of odd.

I do recall hearing in a couple reviews the truck rolling backwards a bit. Wondering if it might be the same thing.
