RAM 1500 2014 V6. New to this site, registered today. When coming to a stop downshifting from 2nd to 1st there is a noticeable clunk when the drivetrain is warm. This does not seem to happen when the drivetrain is cold. I am not sure what is causing this. I have read this may be low trans fluid! Anybody else have this situation? Otherwise love the truck.

Does it kinda feel like someone might have bumped you from behind when you stopped? Mine does it. It is a common issue so feel a slight bump every now and then when slowing and have a whine when in reverse.

Mine does it too, going from 2nd to 1st as I slowed to a stop, but this fix that flashes the transmission TCU lists only the 3.6 engine with the 845re, and may not be for the 8speed I have with my 2014 5.7 hemi. Is there a flash for this?

Not yet. There is a relearning for the transmission that "may" help for all engines (TSB 21-030-14):

known issue which is now considered normal according to my dealer. sometimes it goes away after a bit, mine stopped at something like 8000km but still pops up every so often
