Harsh 1-2 Shift at Half Throttle and WOT
Test drove a 2wd TBSS yesterday that was in seemingly outstanding condition. Ran great, felt tight and extremely fast for a stock truck - The only thing that I didn't like was how the transmission shifted from 1st to 2nd. I read through the sticky about transmission failure warning signs and it sounds like this could be a bit of a red flag, but I wanted to provide some further details about my exact experience and get some opinions.
When I first started driving, the shift from 1st to 2nd and part throttle (maybe 2/3rds) resulted in a slightly delayed and pretty hard shift. However, when leaving from a stop at light throttle (say 1/4) the shift felt normal and smooth. Then, at WOT, it went to 6k RPM before shifting (without lifting off) and the shift felt pretty hard again, but not necessarily unlike it should, in my mind, at WOT. Everything else, shifting out of park, 2-3, 3-4, downshifts, etc. seemed totally normal. Just that 1-2 shift at part throttle really caught me off guard, and it did every time.
You opinions on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
