Hard shift from 1st to 2nd
2003 F250 5.4L Auto
Every once in a while when im accelerating with a light foot the truck shifts HARD from 1st to 2nd, like slam your head against the back window hard. It doesn't do it when accelerating quicker or to any other gear. Now I've read on here that these transmissions kind of learn your driving, so I got the battery disconnected now to see if I can reset from the P.O.
Any other advice?

Got an ABS light/Check Engine Light or having any problems with your speedo? When my truck was being brutally harsh on the 1-2 shift I had all those other problems as well. It was the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) in the rear end.
