    1811 is max adapt shift. This means that the trans saw an issue and the way that works is when it sees an issue, it automatically jacks the pressure for adaptive shifts to max. This usually gives you quite a jolt at the shift and makes you take it in for service.

    The code resets (no longer current, but remains in history) with an ignition cycle, so the problem has to be recurring if you keep feeling harsh shifts.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Well not actually feeling harsh shifts anymore. I'm not sure if it says when that code came up - wasnt there a week ago and have tried not to drive it but yesterday morning had the weirdest thing happen when taking it to the mechanic friend, which may have triggered the code. Started my car up, waited maybe thirty seconds, placed it in drive and it was going but I was literally jumping up and down, could hear a loud clunking nose as the car moved and it was shifting hard, to where I was literally being jerked. Tried to video it but video didn't come out great. Turned my car on and off and it was gone. strangest thing.

    Mechanic did confirm it was not going to third and in his opinion, it was most likely the transmission but was going to do some research he said. Reason for my excessive gas usage solved.
