Understanding shift firmness involves recognizing how hard or soft your truck feels when changing gears. Adjusting shift firmness is beneficial for different driving preferences: firmer shifts for enhanced performance and quicker acceleration, and softer shifts for smoother, more relaxed rides. Occasionally, slight adjustments can resolve rough or delayed gear changes, maintaining your transmission's health. Despite the temptation to DIY, professional help is recommended for transmission adjustments due to their complexity.
