4-3 Downshift Rough

Bluejay, long time user of custom tunes over on the f150Forum uses only a +6 firmness setting I think on the 3-4 shift.

But, you're talking about downshift, which may be a whole new thing. I wonder if the torque converter is staying locked longer than it should? Possibly try adjusting the TC unlock in the positive direction for 4-3 downshift? It won't hurt anything to try, and I'd try a setting of +5. (You can go all the way to +/- 10 at 3-4, 4-3 upshift/downshift).

If that doesn't work, I expect the Mad Doctor will have to work his magic.

Yes I have the custom 87 Performance. I'll give the TC unlock a try and let you know how it comes out. I'll back the firmness off a bit too just to see how that works. Thanks for your input Jack!
