I test drove it, seemed fine. (test drove two actually, an STX - then the XLT I ended up with)
Got it home then noticed some .. rather disturbing harsh shifts as it broke in.
I read the forums and thought I bought a turd and people were just Ford fans and ignoring an issue.
I even had the dealer check fluid levels when it was in for another fix; it was fine.
Right after 4k the bastard smoothed out.... it has been awesome for the last 500 miles.
I doubted you all - I am sorry
For anyone else searching for harsh shifts etc; it does in fact smooth out to be all buttery and stuff. Mine was horrid on 3 to 5 shifts especially, now I can't tell unless I push + and see it or notice the RPM change. Even on a cold shift, it isn't the same - smoother than my other three cars.
Now I actually like the trans. It learned me and I learned when to hit the tow button or shift into S for what I want from the truck.
Again, sorry for doubting many of you. Long live the 10R80 (please, I only extended my warranty to 100k)
