Default auto Transmission issue

Hi all,
Maybe someone has any experience or similar problem.
I have a 2007 voyager 2.8crd with auto transmission.
It is intermittent and mostly occurs on cold running.
On the second gear shift it hesitates a fraction of a second and then jumps in to gear. Mostly it happens after going down a curb or over speed bumps.
It doesn't do it on any other gear changes and on down shift. It very rarely does it when the engine is hot. I changed the oil and filter. The symptoms disppearedfor a couple of days and than it came back.
Weird or what!
Does a transmission fluid change needs to be reset in the software?
Thanks guys

I guess it's a RG model ?

You don't need to reset TCM when changing ATF oil , but if you leave battery disconnected the TCM will start new learn program depending how you drive.

Are you sure there is enough oil in trany ? drive a few miles and leave the car idle on level ground (in park) and check level . Chryslers is very sensitive to fluid level in trany not to much and to little will also kill it.

Hi dieselvoyager,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes, it is an RG model.
I only use ATF +4.
I will check the level this weekend and see.

Looks like there is a little too much fluid in there, went over the hot mark.

The engine was hot after about an hours drive when I checked it, and the oil level was above the warm mark.
