Hard Shift

I have a 2011 Super Crew, 5.0, 4x2. I've been told this hard shift at low RPM and speed like idling through a parking lot is normal? We bought the truck used a few months ago and I've been told this is normal.
Anybody else have this issue

It happens from time to time but only when it is cold. If I let it warm up before taking off, it won't do it.

Mine is doing it too, usually the 2-3 shift. I've heard there is a TSB where they reprogram the computer to correct the shifts.

I believe its TSB 13-1-1. Pm me your email and I'll send the TSB your way.

I had a 2011 5.0 that shifted hard from 1st thru 3rd all my dealer ever did was reflash the transmission than it started shifting hard into reverse I took it back to the dealer and they ended up replacing the valve-body. That solved the problem.
