Default Downshift

ok, so iv been driving, and lately when i start to slow down for stop signs and stuf, my car throws pretty hard for a downshift. now my question is. Has anyone had this problem and solved it. the only thing i can think of is checking the trans pan gasket. but if anyone knows tips for this, please tell me. Thanks!

sounds like maybe you are downshifting one to many gears (my opinion)

Mine kicks hard when it downshifts like when i'm coming to a light

I hear it's a neon thing

ATX trannys are **** on neons...they're really not built well

That's why you should drive a manual.

sounds like a ATX, and it could be your tranny fluid is low, or one of the valves might be sticking.... not sure though... I drive a MTX
