Shift Issue 2012 F150
Guys I have notced that 3rd gear on my 2012 f150 with 5.0 feels a little sluggest from 2-3 not bad but not as crisp as the other gears. I fills like the torque converter locks up about 3-4 sec after the 3rd shift, has anybody noticed this??? Maybe it normal, it differant then my 2010. Any input will put my mine at ease. This trans shifts a lot smoother then my 2010.

yep ... i think they all do it.
my 2010 does it as well.
kinda makes the truck feel doggy when it locks in ... really wish ford would change their shift strategy on this one.
