Has anyone had problems with the automatic trans? I have a 2003 SXT automatic. When I slow down, it feels like the transmission "downshifts" into a lower gear which is fine, but lately it feels like it is shifting into that lower gear a little harder than usual. The car has 62,xxx miles on it. No codes are being thrown either.

 

have you changed your fluid recently

 

You maybe getting what we call ( dodge techs ) a bump stop. The rear gasket is leaking pressure when it shouldn't, It part of the low reverse piston retainer. Seal kit will fix that problem.

 

where should you go to get that looked at? i got an ATX 2002 sxt and i get either hard shifts, and every time i come to a stop, it will throw me forward downshifting if i dont brake quickly and hard to a complete stop

 

Seal Kit? Is it something I can get at my local Autozone or Napa and install myself?

 

I am planning at looking at it this weekend. But, I did not notice any leakage where I part the car.

 

its pressure, so it could be something youd never notcie till you know where it is. Can. same question, where can it be picked up, and can i install it myself?

 

Autozone sells transmission seals...

 

Did the new seal kit work? My '02 does the same thing when downshifting.

 

im gunna have to see about it, cuz i dont even know what im looking for under the car.lol
