Hard shift from park
2011, 69,000 miles. My truck is experiencing very hard shifts from park to drive or park to reverse after a cold soak. It goes away once warmed up. I can't find any excessive driveline play and my transmission fluid level appears fine and in good condition. Any ideas?
The last repair done on my truck was around 7,000 miles ago and it was for a transmission fluid leak around the bell housing. They just replaced the seal between the torque converter and transmission.

Have you had the truck since new? My 13 always does this as does my buddies 11. To stop it I put the truck in neutral, set park brake, release brakes, move shifter to park. Comes out easy every time. It seems that even if you are on flat ground these things come out of park hard unless you let the park brake take the weight.

No. I've seen pictures that show the solenoids. Looks like you drain the trans fluid, pull the bottom cover off, and the solenoids are right there on the bottom of the transmission. There are probably 7 of them and I don't know anything more than that.

Is it like the old tower computers where any component had to be "registered" or programmed with an "address" to the mother board?
So, the truck is its own closed Internet, where every component has an address so that the main computer can "handshake" all the components?

That sounds like a good analogy... Although at least I could build my own tower myself and I didn't need another very expensive computer as the tool to do it. The newer cars that network isn't as closed as we like to think it is.
