It's certainly possible, but so much depends on the folks you are doing business with.
Some dealerships will treat a truck in warranty as though it has a warranty.
Others will try everything they can to disqualify the truck.
Relationships are everything in the warranty business, in my opinion.
Regardless, if you know what a tune to the transmission actually is, you'd know you can actually make the transmission work BETTER than Ford does with their incentive to worship at the alter of fuel mileage. A perfect example is the shift strategy in the so called Sport mode. It's actually a much cleaner and precise shift strategy, but Ford associates the strategy with 4A and no EV mileage in Sport.
If Normal mode had the shifting parameters of Sport Mode, but still had EV potential and just the slightest reduced gear holding at RPM, I swear there would be a lot less negative shifting complaints.
Leave the gear skipping and the clunkiness to Eco mode.
These are the kinds of things the transmission tuner does. You describe what you want and they adjust it for you.
