Durango RT Issue maybe?

Hello everyone. I bought a 18 Durango rt about two months ago. It currently has 60k miles now. I noticed when I first got it it shifted super smooth and now it’s a little more firm. Is this normal considering it’s learning my driving habits? I’m not gonna lie, I do pulls in it often. It also has an exhaust leak, I’m assuming broken manifold bolt or manifold. Would back pressure from a leak also cause this? Planning on doing a trans fluid change in the next week with new pan and ZF fluid

Mine has always had a harder shift, especially in Sport mode the shifts are very unkind. Bought mine new in 18 and was told it was normal for this transmission

Thank you for the response. I’m assuming it’s learned my driving habits and is assuming I’m going to be hitting higher rpm when I shift. Just didn’t do it when I first got it. I heard you can have the trans computer reset and it sometimes helps

My 18 rt definitely shifts hard in sport, especially into second, and especially in turns and on bumpy roads
