Hi,how are you?HAS the check engine light come on?

Customer replied 325 days and 13 hours ago.

No check engine

Expert:  Mike Kelly replied 325 days and 13 hours ago.

Ok,this sound like since the transmission smooths out and shifts as designed at 40 that there is a restriction in the low gears the most likely cause is debris in the system.The first step i would suggest is a fluid change and a transmission additive.

If
you do not rate as: got the job done, helpful and informative, or great
service, I do not receive any credit or compensation whatsoever from the
deposit you have paid.
The higher the rating the
better.
