Erratic shifting clunking while driving a clunk when engine started some tines
Not persistent happens erratically called dealer they said they have had a few reports no service bulletins
any clue my guess is it needs firmware updated and flashed
Thanks for any suggestions

Have a 2018 2.7l and am having the same "clunky" shifts as the OP.
Wasn't too worried about it until yesterday when I had a clunk when I started the truck twice. I was hoping the transmission would learn and smooth out after a few more miles, but now with the clunk at start up I'm not so sure.
It's intermittent as I've already started the truck today and drove it a couple of miles and everything seemed fine.

I filed a NHTSA complaint .. dealer is stumped ford has no resolution other than reflash Firmware
I am beginning to believe this is going to become a safety issue .
NHTSA ISSUE ID 11072824
Nothing shows yet but i just filed this morning hopefully ford will start to aggressively resolve the issue
I also posted to their twitter account https://twitter.com/FordService

I can think of no logical reason for a 10 speed trans. Or even a 7 speed. 15 years from now when the warranty is long gone and the truck is worth 5K but needs a $5K trans overhaul, there will be a crapton of these in the salvage yards. Reminds me of when Ford really hit it out of the park with those awesome variable venturi carbs.

I have the 2018 F150 XLT Sport and have the same problem. Call two dealers and both told me there are not bulletins or issues. They said I need to get used to the erractic and hard shifting. Ridiculous! It seems like the transmission doesn't know what gear it wants to be in sometimes. Nothing smooth about this.

Also Today went by the dealer they recheck my truck found 2 dead plugs on cylinders 3 and 5 they replaced these 2 plugs so far it has made a big difference
I am going to give it a couple days to get any built up gunk out of those cylinders and then let the dealer know if it helped or not.
