Harsh Shift Into Drive

When my ST is cold in the AM and I shift from R into D, the shift is quite harsh. No noise of any kind (my 2019 Mustang Ecoboost had an issue clunking into R when cold) but it causes the vehicle to lurch. Only happens the first time when cold. Jerks me in my seat. Anyone aware of a TSB or have the same issue?

Normal. I started letting mine come up to temp before shifting out of park and it shifts smoothly. These transmissions are quirky
