2006 PF SE V6 Auto 4WD, 129K miles. Trans replaced with rebuilt at 80K by dealer after trans/rad failure. My questions is, when the truck is cold or hasn't been driven for a period of time, the trans shifting from 1st to 2nd is not smooth. It seems to kinda softly slam into 2nd for the first few shifts and after that everything's fine. I did the flush and fill with matic s or j (I forget) last year. Is there something more I can do? ie mechanic in a can? I do tow with it and want to be pro-active in reducing the likelihood of early failure.
