Pulling my 6x12 trailer with a Cub 3200 aboard. Upshift and downshift from stopping and taking off was like you put it in park then back to drive. . it was hard enough that the tie down strap came loose and the momentum carried the mower through the ramp and out on the highway. It bent the latches and allowed it to open. The Lord was watching me, luckily no one was behind me. One of two things happened. I have transmission issues, or, forgot to set the brake. I have a 2016 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi with 8 speed tranny, I think. Have there been any issues with extremely had down shifts when slowing down or extremely hard up shifts when taking off from stop? I really feel it was the tranny. Never had it to shift that hard before. Thought there may be a TSB, or, known issue. Felt like someone had hit you in the rear end.
