Unhappy Transmission clunk or bump on downshifting...any one has this?

Recently, I took my Durango 2013 to the dealership for oil change, after that I started noticing a clunk and bump when the car shifts from transmission gear 2 to 1, especially when I am fully loaded and driving down a hill .

Do you guys have this? Should I be concerned? Anything recommended to fix this this?

Hi danix4u,

Did you get a chance to take your Durango to the dealership for the clunk and bump when shifting? If not, we recommend to have the dealer diagnosis. Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Thanks,

Kathleen

According to FCA, under normal conditions not until like 120k miles. I serviced the front and rear diffs and the transmission at 80k.

I never had a clunk. Sounds like a torque converter lockup/release issue.

Guys, I do not hear it all the time, only when I have seven people in the car or fully loaded and I push the brakes to stop going down a hill or ramp.
