I have a 2014 V6 automatic. My tranny will sometimes hang before dropping in overdrive or jump a couple hundred revs before dropping in overdrive. Happens quickly, probably not even a whole second. Keep hearing this is normal with these torque converters but I'm not so sure. Only 52k miles.
I'm no expert but I think its called a shift 'flare'. You can pull fuse number 47 in the fuse box in the engine bay for an hour or so. Put the fuse back in and take it for a test drive to see if anything changes.
Check with your Ford dealer to see if TSB 11-11-11 applies to your Mustang.
My Mustang does what yours is doing ever once in a while, I'm just going to live with it for now
It's not horrible and doesn't seem to do any harm, just aggravating. I wanna make sure it's nothing that's small and will become a bigger problem. Thank you though! If it doesn't work I'll keep researching and may just take it to the dealer. It's under warranty.
I will try the fuse thing tonight and if it doesnt work I will take it to the dealer next week sometime. Dont wanna let her go for even a day but I guess I will have to. ?
Update: Went ahead and pulled the fuse at work. Went on a test drive and so far, resetting the adaptive shifting seems to have done the trick. Shifting feels much better overall and flares are gone.
I drive in a TON of bad stop and go traffic, so I think the adaptive shifting is adapting a little too much to that factor. May have to reset once a week or every other week. Better than having bad solenoids IMO.
Another update: Damn shift flares are back. Calling the dealer tomorrow.
