This is another thing that was subtle but eliminated from a custom JG trans tune.

mine does it too but 2nd into 3rd. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the valve body. That being said it still does it. so i gave up

to me, this would suggest it is in the stock programming then. Why on earth would they think this hard 1-2 shift is a good idea?
My 2018 3.6 8 speed Tradesman with 11,000 miles does something similar. I start it in the morning, let the idle come down to 1000 rpm or below and put it in gear--reverse or drive, it doesn't matter. There's a clank and a significant lurch forward or backward, depending. Then, when driving off slowly the truck will accelerate on its own up to 2000 rpm and lurch into 2nd. Shifts continue to be rough until the transmission warms up a bit. Then everything is smooth--no clanks or lurches. It is very disturbing and impossible to ignore.
