2025 1500 with transmission issues/disappointing

[Billy2019]

Just looking to get a number of people having a very clunky transmission with the 25s. I have an appointment set with my dealer in 2 weeks.

Sometimes it feels like the torque converter is disengaging and re engaging when cruising on the highway or around town. Get this road bump feel. 7th and 8th gear.
4th to 5th can be rough, sometimes it’s smooth sometimes it just clunks to 5th.
3rd or 4th slow speed. Let off the throttle and you get tons of decel feel and a jerk when you get back on the throttle accompanied by a metallic clunk.
Intermittent surging in 3rd when applying steady throttle at slow speed.
4/3 harsh
3/2 harsh

1200 miles now. Started acting up around 300 miles.

I have some of the same symptoms that you mention above. I was hoping that it would clear up but it’s now 700 miles and still drives the same.

I’ll post up after my visit and see if they either reset it, or there is a physical defect.

Just an update. Truck also buck’s now in 8th gear at 40 mph. Low rpm.

Dealership said normal characteristics of this truck. 🤦‍♂️

I'm wondering if they are low on fluid? I've been meaning to check mine, which is a very tedious process, but I'll have to give it a try.

Perfect description of the issue!
2 months and 2100 miles later, mine behaves the same.
Took it to the dealer and complained, Tech. said it is normal!!

My 2019 behaved the same way, a couple of months after I bought it, I took it to the dealer and there was a TSB that fixed the issue.
I bet that it is an SW calibration issue. Shifts and the engine revs are not in synch.
