Hey guys-


My brother has a 2004 Dodge Stratus 4 door with the 2.4 and automatic. It has just over 100,000 miles on it and he never had the fluid/filter replaced. The car ran great and shifted fine,the fluid was just a little dirty.

I just pulled the pan,and replaced the filter. Re filled it with the proper ATF+4. No leaks,and got it filled up to the proper level. Now it upshifts great and feels very smoothe.

The problem is after getting up to speed and comming to a stop,at about 30 mph the downshift into first is very harsh/clunky. Any idea what this could be?
