Hey guys, new here.
I got my 2017 1500 last April and I noticed that right before it shifts from 1st into second, I hear what I can only describe as a gasp.
Atleast in the video it sounds like that
Does anyone have ANY clue as to what it could be?

A lot of people report the first shift of day from 1st to 2nd to have a delay or odd shift, then will shift normal the rest of the day.

Mine has been doing this a little after I first changed the transmission fluid at 50,000 miles. Its not the same as the delayed 1-2 shift when its cold. It's more of an audible thing you can hear but not feel. Also, mine does it 1-2, and then really noticeably again from 2-3. It only does it when cold as far as I can tell, and I've also noticed it less and less since my truck mileage has crept into the upper 70k and 80k mile rages. Not sure if thats good or bad. I guess we'll see some day.
