2017 Superduty random delay engaging drive and reverse

I am currently having a random problem of a 4-6 sec delay mostly going in to reverse and sometimes going to drive. It seems to be more common when engine temp is cold. Have not been able to make this happen on demand hence the dealer is telling me no problem found. Has any one else experienced this in their 2017+ Diesel Superduty?

Sounds like a shift solenoid issue. If the valve housing is machined off a few thousandths the solenoids can stick until the trans oil viscosity thins out from operating temps.

Does the trans shift hard from 2-3 when it's cold?

Best bet is to record a vid and show it to the dealer. You paid a lot of money; don't let them tell you there's no problem if there is.

Could also be low on fluid. Check the easy thing first.

It shifts through the gears fine. It’s just the delay going from Park to Reverse or Park to Drive. Fluid level was the first thing I checked and it was full.
