Does anyone know if there is an update for the transmission? I noticed today that mine feels like a drunk 16 year old learning stick for the first time, especially in the lower end while in traffic.
 
I've noticed mine is bit balky at very low speeds - i.e. when starting to move forward but then taking my foot off the gas (most notable when I turn onto my street and essentially roll thru at about 20mph. Not harsh, just feels like it momentarily can't figure out where to be.
 
I don't think they have figured it out yet or just don't care.
Mine is most noticeable on cold start up, and I live in Florida!!!

Yeah, Florida here as well - northeast transplant from '04 and never looked back. My issue isn't cold-start sensitive, just happens at certain low-speed actions.

That’s an accurate description of what’s happening. Can’t pick a gear when feathering the throttle in traffic. Almost feels jerky. Otherwise, it’s really smooth driving around.
 
Mine has less than 100 miles on it and I got an Electronic Control Throttle fault. Essentially, I am experiencing the same thing very cluncky when just trying to ease through the first few gears in traffic. Its not turbo lag as I am familiar with that, its more of a jerky acceleration issue. Taking it into dealership on Friday to see what they come up with.
 
You should just drive it normally and relax as it takes a while to LEARN your Driving Habits. Mine with 600
Miles is still in the process of getting my Driving habits nailed. My 2020 Eco-Diesel did the same. After
x amount of time it will be fine.

Mine does the same thing, I drive a 2025 Ram 1500 Laramie with a I6 Hurricane SO engine and its intermittent but mine specifically jerks when downshifting from 4 to 3 and I'm going under 25 miles an hour. I asked the dealership about it and they found a TSB on it but whatever they did didn't fix it. They keep saying until I'm able to replicate it they can't do much about it. At this point I have over 3000 miles on the truck and don't think it's still trying to learn my driving style.
