Clunky "lazy" Shifts

This issue is really hard rough shifts at low speed/rpm in 1/2/3rd. As the other poster described it, the truck jerks hard almost like someone bumped into you. This can't be good on the tranny. I've already reported it to my dealer and will be bringing the Edge in next week for its first service. Just wondering if anyone else with an 2011 Edge Sport has noticed this and if they've managed to get it rectified.
Thanks!

I'm having an issue very similar to another post, but its older and for an 08' I believe, so I've started a new thread in here as I'm assuming it would be a completely different transmission for the 2011 3.7L.

I believe all Edges use the same 6F50 transmission including the sport.

Thanks Akirby! I've used your info to do some research and I think you're right.
Even with the same model transmission, would the 3.7L have the same programming? I think that is really what it comes down to.

My 2008 would hunt for a split second then slam into a gear, it was terrible, but dealer could not reproduce it so they said it didn't exist. It was very frustrating, they claimed they never heard anything like it, and I knew I wasnt the only one having the problem. When I printed others posts, they said it was much the same as "one person crying the blues and another being sympathetic and saying the same thing!!!!"
New 2011 trans is so smooth I cant believe the difference. Something is not quite right if you're new 11 is having this problem.

I would contact the dealer ASAP.

I'm afraid it might be the same scenario as you. I've just rolled 5000KM and its only happened to me 5-6 times, so I'm certainly not going to give my Edge to them to put 1000KM's on it before they find the issue. It's going in on Thursday, so I'll be bringing it up then. I'm hoping it is just early software for that tranny/engine combo and it will be a simple flash, but perhaps its too new for them to have enough people report it for an update to be created

In 6 months of driving my 2011 MKX, I've experienced very abrupt shifts 3 times, twice while accelerating slowly from a stop and once while already moving slowly. Strong enough to really jerk me. The dealer attributes it to a cold transmission. True, the transmission would have been fairly cold at the time but why only those 3 times?
Got to get around to buying that extended warranty...
I'm glad I got the extended warranty right off the bat! For me it certainly isn't related to a cold transmission, its happened 30min+ into driving. I've had it a lot more then 3 times, but likely only 3-4 really kicked. I've felt a few softer ones that I know if I was accelerating a bit more it would have been more harsh. I've only noticed the issue in heavy traffic.
There are some other updates in the 2011 Edge/MKX section.

I have had my 11 edge sport since January and in the past couple weeks I just started to notice the rough shifts at low speeds also. If is definitly not a cold transmission since I was out and about for over a hour the times I noticed it happening. I will be taking to dealer for an oil change soon and will ask them to look at it.
Have you been doing a lot more heavy traffic driving lately? If you're issue is the same as mine, it a problem with a solenoid delay, that appears to happen when traveling slow. (in traffic) I never get it when I'm doing normal driving. I had my mapping programming wiped which worked for a while, but its back now. It seems that its learning the wrong way to shift during those specific scenarios.

I currently have 17,500kms on my '11 sport and it has been to the dealership 4 times in less than a year. I purchased it last October and really liked it. The first 3 "visits" were related to the navigation system not working, part of the radio stations didn't show up, phones would not connect for handsfree use, etc. The most recent "visit" to the dealership was a transmission issue. After the vehicle was warmed up and had been driving for 15 minutes at different speeds,
hit the fan. I was going up a small incline hill and the vehicle upshifted from a lower gear (automatic mode) and a loud thud. It felt like i ran over top of something big in the middle of the road. I have owned over a dozen vehicles and have never experienced anything close to this. It lunged the vehicle forward and I didn't know what to think. I drove it to the dealership, no other noise or issues and told them. One salesman said this is a common problem in the new ford trucks with 6 speed transmissions. If this is a common problem, my Edge is for sale tonight. After looking at the vehicle, the problem they proclaim was a internal seal on the PTU. They replaced it, test drove the vehicle and cleared it. Well, on the way home from picking it up it made another clunky shift when it downshifted after a corner. That took a total of 5 minutes to have it happen again. Will keep everyone posted... GRRRRRRRR
There is a new(ish) TSB for this, its a lot more then the PTU seal. Your dealer should have known about this one. It involves physical updates to your tranny and a software update. It did a lot for me, but I'm still not 100% happy, although it is MUCH better!
This tread has a lot more details.
Tranny TSB

If you have not replaced the rear output speed sensor yet. You might want to start saving up some money for that repair.
