    Just curious if anyone else has experienced this. I have a 2018 offraod, about 3500 miles. Just recently sometimes when I turn the truck on and go to shift it into drive, it doesnt shift smoothly. It gets the neutral and then stops, and to get it into drive it take a little extra umpf to get it in. Now it doesnt do this every single time but seems that it pops up every so often now.

    Any ideas?
