Default Weird shift point question.

Ok, I have sort of a weird shift point question. When I drive the first 5-10 minutes, I notice my gears get confused at 3-4 gears when accelerating slowly at about 30mph's. The rpm will drop like it shifted into 4th, but lifts right back up. It shifts to 4th at around 45mph normally. It drives fine, no slippage but you can definitely tell if you paying close attention. It stops after driving for about 10mins. I did have a trans tune. Anyone ever experience anything like this? Just curious.. Thanks.

Your fluid might be low.

Have you checked it? It may have been underserviced.

Can’t change a filter with a flush. Only when dropping the pan for a normal fluid change.
