    Hi
    I have 2018 cascadia newer model Automatic transmission. When truck is upshifting or downshifting and when truck touches 1200 goes it give more acceleration and rev goes to 1500 very fast and drops back to 1200 but stays in gear. It is doing this after shifting when rev touches 1200. Also when upshifting from 9th gear upwards it shifts to quick.
    Do you know what it can be?

    Mine did that. Replaced the clutch.
    Was caused by a pinched wiring harness on the transmission.

    So, the problem was just in pinched wiring harness? No clutch problem?
    I have almost the same problem right now. But it revs up when it shifts only to odd gears (4-5, 6-7,...)

    No. The wiring issue caused the clutch to actuate unexpectedly, leading to its failure.
    They replaced the wiring harness on the transmission, the TCU (Transmission Computer) and the clutch.
