stunt is on a distinguished road
For the last few days when I put in R to back out of garage, I have noticed the truck lurches pretty hard, and then again when I put in in D to drive off.

Once I drive off, it seems the transmission start out in 3rd or 4th instead of 1st, and stays in 3/4 until I arrive at my destination. I have no issue getting into R to park.

No strange noises or anything and other than being real slow during acceleration from a standstill, there seem to be no adverse effects.

Am I putting undue strain on my torque converter?

I did change the transmission fluid about 200 miles ago at a little over 133k. That was the first time the fluid was changes.

Any ideas what to look for? Maybe clogged passages in the valve body from doing the fluid change?
