Engine/Gear Change, clunky but only in SPORTS

[Raptorz]

Hi guys,
While I'm kicking about the audio plan, I thought I'd throw another one out there for you to wade in on. ROW/Aussie, doesn't matter.
When I''m in and only in SPORT setting (configured when I hit R button) the truck kind of lurches between 4th and 5th and it's really noticeable, like REALLY. Only ever 4th to 5th and never any other gears. It's like the truck wants to grab 5th but some other part of the truck isn't comfortable with it, so it's a really jerky shift.
These are the other parameters of my R set up, should that help.
Steering - Comfort
Springs - Sport
Exhaust - Baja.
Ratio - 4A

Keen to know if this is a me problem or if any of you have the same thing.
Cheers

How heavy are you on the trottle when changing from 4th to 5th? I know the US guys are saying sport mode gear shifts seem to be more smooth post the performance tune?

I feel like in sport mode the gear changes are better when giving it the beans with wide open throttle - half or low throttle its kinda rough in sport (but I haven't noticed it worse in 4th to 5th)

Doesn't seem to matter, car upshifting in med traffic 4/5 or a bit more spirited and the car shifts 4/5th. Eyes on the road, listening to the radio, you know it's 4/5th by the jolt and it's not a "nice jolt" like the truck thinking it's suddenly a race car (like the downshifts as you roll up to the lights. 4th to 3rd in particular.)

I can't believe Ford Australia have said that we get NO FP tune over here. Two days after it was announced by Ford globally, those ****'s at Ford Australia said "Nah, you lot aren't getting it."

I had a random, hard shift from 3rd to 2nd at lower RPM while stock. Installed the tune and now the hard shift moved to downshifting from 7th to 6th but it's also more consistent.

I get a hard shift in lower gears when down shifting - slowing down, but only from time to time. Not very often....
