2004 XLT 4x4 4.0 V6, just turned 89K -- Just recently started noticing harsh shift from 1st to 2nd gear... Nothing horrible, just different. Rest of the shifting is fine. Seems to be better when trans is up to temperature/been driving a while. Trans fluid and filter changed within last 10K miles, and fluid level is good..... ? Any ideas/Anyone else seen or had the same problem? Thanks!!
 






Have it scanned for codes, some codes will cause the transmission to go into "failsafe" mode and you will have firm shifts.
