Just had my 60K mile service that included a differential and transmission fluid change. Now I am occassionaly getting a very hard thump when it downshifts when coming to a stop. It happens at about 10-15MPH on the way to stopped.

Has anyone experienced this? What is the solution?

Thanks in advance

Get back to the dealer, i experienced that in my acura-Tl just before the tranny went out.

 

yep, have them check and make sure they put the right oil/amount in there.

 

Keep us posted. I agree with everyone else. I have been in a Ford that did this and, indeed, the tranny went out.

 

Thanks guys. I will check the tranny fluid in the AM. It didn't do it at all today. Good thing my warranty is to 100K miles.

Thanks again

Hey I heard this noise before. Go back right away & make sure they double check everything. Make sure they tightened everything back up after they performed the (Differential fliud change) It's very easy for them to think they locked & tightened everything up. It could be the LSD that's not completely bolted down tight. It happened to me once when leaving the dealership before. Jus make sure you get on it quick.

how much of a "kick" are you getting when u downsift coming to a stop... i notice a subtle kick but i've always consider it to be from normal wear and tear.
