[QUOTE="EccentricRaptor, post: 1802295, member: 57373"] Hi, everyone! I've posted a question similar to this in the past, but I never really got what I wanted out of the discussion, so I figured I'd give it another try at a different angle. How does your gen 2 Raptor operate when in sport mode? The reason I'm asking is because I'm curious if how mine operates is due to poorly done repairs (the service history in the FordPass app does show repairs to the transmission/clutch), failing hardware, or if it's truly just how the transmission is designed. While I realize I could go the route of using Forscan to play around with it, it is under a warranty that I don't want to void plus I'm not to the point of agitation to where I'd toy with the transmission software of a $60,000 truck. I've had the dealership look into a couple times - they always say that it's operating as designed, not throwing any codes, fluid levels are fine, or they can't reproduce it (I'm doubtful on the latter since I don't have to try to reproduce it). I've also had two transmission learning table wipes in a year (only have driven it about 7,000 miles in that time) plus a reprogram for harsh shifting. I'm familiar with the harsher shifting in sport and I know that's just how they are based on what I've read/heard. But I can't find anyone else saying the following two things (what really bugs/concerns me) about being in sport mode. Does ANYONE else experience the two below things when in sport mode and did you do anything to resolve it (whether you were successful or not)? [LIST=1] [*]On nearly every downshift when the gears are between 3 and 8, it revs the RPM up and holds it there causing it to lurch forward initially, speed up by a few MPH, and become noticeably louder (expected because the RPM went up by at least 500). While it's somewhat nice on back roads because it makes speeding back up after a curve slightly easier but coming to a total stop takes longer and if I brake harsher because I can't get it to slow down fast enough, I can hear it audibly clunk/buck when downshifting. [*]If I let off on the gas pedal completely (or almost completely) just as I begin to go down a hill like I'm going to coast down it in gears lower than 8, it almost immediately downshifts once or twice bringing the RPM to 3000-4000 and then it holds it there until I give it an ample amount of gas to encourage an up shift or two.
