2018 Ford F-150 5.0~10 Speed Transmission Issues FIXED!

2018 Ford F-150 5.0~10 Speed transmission Issues FIXED!

[jayteegearhead]

I bought a used 2017 ford raptor with 10 speed transmission and had the same problem. Ford dealership said I needed a new transmission. I asked them to turn adaptive learning off and they claimed it wouldn’t work and that they couldn’t do it. So I literally had to beg them to reset the adaptive learning. After a half hour of pleading with them they did it and it shifts perfect now. If I hadn’t seen this video I would have spent thousands of dollars on a new transmission. Thanks for sharing sir. I still wish they could have turned it off completely.

I realize that this is 2yo, but need to comment for ALL...thank you my man for posting this for us!! I just went to the shop and had the guys do this for me in my 2019 f150 ecoboost. All of about half of one second. Ok, maybe 2-3 seconds chatting with the guy. God Bless!

I have a 2018 ford F-150 5.0 with the 10 speed transmission and I drive in all kinds of environments and traffic situations, so every few months I download the latest software if there is any via bluetooth and go into advanced settings and reset the adaptive learning for the transmission. It pays to read your owners manual. I never have any issues with my truck because I read the manual. Go figure!

This was my exact experience as well on my 2017 f150 3.5 10speed. First transmission went out at 80k. Ford replaced under warranty with a new one. Same jerky shifts. I went in with forscan and turned off adaptive shift. Runs flawlessly now.

My good man, lemme tell ya, I just bought a used 2018 f150 lariat, and the bogging or ruff shifting it’s like the gears ⚙️ are grinding 4-5-6-7 gears. I only own the car 3 or 4 days. What your saying is exactly how I feel. I’m 54 years old with truck experience, I’m so glad you made the video. I started thing wait I’m gonna need a transmission I only own the car few days. Thought of getting the extended warranty for thousands because of this. Wow. What the heck, , , We are Not Crazy right!!! Happy Holidays ☘️🍀 🍻

I just picked up a 2018 f150 yesterday and i thought i bought a lemon. Taking it to ford tomorrow. Thank you so much for the information.

[michaelscott]

wow! man, I just bought my 2020 and I thought I was losing my mind and regretting my purchase, I felt the hard shifts and I was thinking my transmission was going out. Glad I came across you video. A million thanks. Appreciate it. Thank you!

My 2018 5.0 skipped gears from day one and has 34k miles. I started selecting Tow/Haul for the first 5 miles along with pushing the auto restart button. After 5 miles I put the transmission in standard mode. It has never acted funny.
If your 5.0 has an oil consumption problem or you think it does; change to 5-30 oil from 5-20, it fixed my problem. I have always used Motorcraft Semisynthetic.

Thanks, Ernest! I am up by Lake Brownwood. Looking at a 10 speed right now and had a little hesitation so this is good news.

For basic functions, like on our fart smones, there should be a line-up of settings that the user can adjust change or turn off….w /o friggin dealer service

I have a 2019 great ! 48, 000 miles. Works perfectly

I have a 2019 F150 10 speed and had hard shifting from 3 to 4. I had adaptive learning turned off for $60 and my truck shifts so much smoother. Definitely recommend doing this if you are experiencing hard shifting! Thanks for the video!!

Bought mine 2 days ago and felt the jerking and low speeds. Going to take it to the dealership and turn if the adaptive learning. Thanks very much. I was going to lose my mind if I didn’t see the video. Thanks again, God bless

Dude thanks!Got a 20/20 Ranger with this 10 speed acting all wonky before & after having a rebuild on the transmission.The damn thing is acting like it's "overthinking" shifting between gears!Calling the dealership tommorow.

[hip_check]

5:00 old post and not sure about a 2018, but on a 2022 F150, you can reset adaptive learning tables OR disable it completely in Forscan yourself without a trip to the dealer.

Thanks for your input. Bought a new F-150 and I am not liking how the transmission shits, now I can tell them a fix.

[KenAndrews-fchb]

Thank you for the great video and info! This really helped me a lot. I am more determined now than ever that my new F150 is going to be a pre-owned 2017 XLT or Lariat 4WD with the 5.0L V8 with the old-school 6-speed transmission. For the difference in what I will pay compared to a new F150 with the 10-speed, I can afford to put a few thousand (if necessary) into returning it (bumper to bumper) to nearly like-new bullet-proof condition.

Well this is good to know my son is looking at that exact same truck and if we have this issue we at least know how to fix it great video thank you appreciate it

[redemon]

This is great information, I haven't had any issues with mine and I got 40k miles on it, good video thanks 👍

[johanhiebert]

Thanks for the information I have the same truck 2018 5.0 L I haven't had any issue but still it's good to know I have 107, 000 km on
