Transmission issue?
2014 F250 automatic- 35k miles... just started having an issue. Noticed when the transmission is cold, the shift from 2nd to 3rd is almost delayed. It's enough of a pause you can feel it then it shifts. Weird thing is it only does for the first 3 stop signs leaving my house. Once the trans starts getting some temperature to it, it shifts perfect. I checked the fluid while hot and it showed a little low. I drove it after adding fluid but will have to wait till it's cold to see if it's any better... any ideas? Think it was the fluid? But why just 2nd to 3rd gear only? Thanks all

What was the ambient temperature? Most modern transmissions offer different shifting strategies, i.e. delayed torque converter lock up, when below a certain temperature. This aids to help "warm up" the transmission.

Temp was appr. 75 degrees... trans temp showed the same when I started the vehicle.
I rechecked the trans fluid after adding 1/3 quart and drove it 40 miles... it was still low.. it ended up taking an entire quart to get it in the normal range. I re drove it after adding the remaining quart. I will see today how it drives since the trans temp has cooled.
