I've noticed that my ST will occasionally slam into 3rd gear when giving it 50% or more throttle, only noticeable while in sport mode. It is especially apparent if you you're in manual mode, but I have had it happen in auto sport at least twice. I don't let the gears ride out to max RPM and end up short shifting (probably around 5000-ish RPM), if anything. Tis just a little bit of fun being had, but the slamming of gears is scary as hell... making me afraid this trans is going to nuke itself.

I'm at 5500 miles and had service at 3500 miles, to which I asked them to verify the transmission fluid level. Ford service claimed it was right where it should be.

No tune presently.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
