    Hey guys bought a 2014 sport 4x4 DCLB 6 months ago and loving it. However in the past month or so I've been noticing the truck has been somewhat jerky when shifting gears. Particularly at around 1500 RPM and wanted to be sure this is normal. I THINK it's because I've been pay attentioning to it more now so I didn't notice it before. But again, just wanted to confirm this is normal. Thanks!

    All stock, baby!
    First things first, check your transmission fluid level using the method documented in this thread or by taking it to a shop that knows how to do it properly. If it's over/under full, correct that and see if it changes anything.

    It will help if you add some details, such as which engine you have, current mileage, whether the transmission fluid has ever been changed (if you know).

    Awesome thanks! Will definitely check that this weekend.

    So an annual mileage of 32K per year? That’s impressive.

    Let us know what you find.

    I ended up taking it to a dealership and everything looks good. I suppose I have been getting more comfortable with driving my truck and just starting noticing the slight jerky. Appreciate you replying offering help though! Have a great weekend
