When coming to a stop the tranny downshifts hard and it's not a solid good downshift. I had the tranny rebuilt to the tune of $2800 and it still does it. I took it back to the shop and they "retrained" the computer but it still does it. I have had no major problems except this one and I really can't call it major but it sure is annoying. I'm mostly concerned that I will be on a cross country trip and the tranny is going to drop out.

I have a dodge stratus 2000 4 door 2.5l v6. It down shifts hard from 2nd to 1st when i come up on a stop quick does any one know what that could be? I brought it to the shop and they hooked the computer up and could not find any codes!

Also the tranny is automatic but does have autostick, does this auto stick have a clutch that i could replace with a performance one so it grabs harder or not?? Does any one know of any place i could get performance parts for this car?
