Hard downshift 94 Chrysler T&C auto trans

Al VaBeach 6 February 2005 16:31:21
 It is noticeable when our 1994 T&C van 2wd with 88,000 miles down
shifts to 1st gear. We never noticed this before and lately it seems to
down shifts hard to 1st. When I say hard, it's like a clunk sound. When
the other gears down shift, it is not that noticable...very smooth.
Other than than, no problem. I checked the fluid and it was about 3/4
quart low. Is this a problem, something to be checked by a transmission
shop or normal?

 How long since you changed the fluid and filter...and what exact type of
fluid was used?

 The current fluid and filter has about 50,000 miles on it. I guess it's
due for a change. Not sure of what type was put in on the last change.
It was changed by a reputable garage.

If it's still on the original trans computer, that computer needs a firmware
update if I'm not mistaken.

 Would a 1994 have a trans computer? Not sure about this, but the
problem seems to have started after I disconnected the battery when I
replaced the starter. I don't recall having this problem prior to
that.

 Thank you for the information. Tomorrow I'll take the van to the
Chrysler Dealer and have it checked for a computer update TSB-18-24-95,
change fluid and filter and have the bands adjusted. The site
www.allpar.com/fix/­trans.html, as suggested, had a good bit of
information on troubleshooting the transmission. This was my first
visit to rec.autos.tech and I do appreciate the advice.
Thanks again for the help.
