It's scary you said that cause I swear my shifts feel funny to like sometimes it's hard or feels 'confused' about if it should shift or not... sometimes shifting up, down, back up all in a very short time. That's even when it's not under heavy load, just casually driving to town in eco mode or normal.
Yep. Me too. 2-3 gets confused all the time. It’s annoying as ****. Something with the rear diff. I’m about to get to the bottom of it. I’ll report back when I do. I mean, them replacing the entire transmission didn’t fix it. So it has to be rear diff and it feels like it is happening in the rear.

What's your build date? Seems like after October 2022 they started putting in the revised bushing so no recall for those built after 10/2022
My build date was February 2022. When it warms up I need to get under there and take a look at everything

Just look at the bushing and see if the center section appears to be "solid metal" under the washer, or if you see some "void areas". If solid, you're good to go.
