Trans shaking

2022 F250 with the 7.3 engine. Pulling the high school band trailer and the trans starts shaking right when it's trying to shift from first to second. Anybody else experiencing this?

Stupid question but I'll ask. Are you in tow haul mode?

Not me...could it be the drive shaft? Check the U-joint hardware?

Sometimes it's rpm dependent, but yeah, that is weird. I've only dealt with high speed vibes on my old Mach1 in the past.
Easy enough to inspect...

Does it only do it on the 1-2 shift? What about 2-3 and 3-4?

You could try manual mode in first gear and run it up a little higher on the rpm's before you manually shift into 2nd or try it at lower rpm's

it doesn't sound good

how heavy do you think you are towing?

3.55 gear? Or 4.30 gear

it's a probably 7 ft tall trailer dual axle loaded with a bunch of donated clothes, maybe half full so not all that heavy. Definitely not anywhere near my total limits. 3:55 gears

I like the idea of trying manual and running the RPMs a little higher but I can only do that when I have access to the trailer which is not often. I'm going to call local dealer on Monday and see what their opinion is. Is there any way for me to find out if Ford has put out any tsb's on this?

I am concerned that without the test load, the dealer may not have many options for you.

@Garbageman 134
To be clear, does this happen when your foot is standing on the gas, using a good amout of power, just before shifting from 1st to 2nd?
Or is it right during the shift? Then after the shift you can stand on the gas and all is smooth?

It is possible that it is the shift valve stuttering during the shift. I will be interested in hearing what it does in a manual shift with a heavy load. (When you test, also test the shift with the transmission in normal mode to compare)
