New to the forum and am looking for some advice on possible reasons for what I assume is transmission slippage. For example, when navigating a city block, the vehicle will shift from 1st > 2nd > 3rd just fine & then when slowing down to stop, it will abruptly "drop" back down into first with a loud thud. All other circumstances the transimission is smooth and seems fine. Should I be concerned about a rebuild/new transmission (171K) or could this likely be a solenoid issue, etc. Also, there is a mild "whine" when starting off in 1st and I am not sure if this is normal. I am the 3rd owner of this vehicile & it appears to be fundamentally sound and taken care of.
Trying to get a little more educated so as to hopefully avoid getting ripped off at the shop.
Thanks for any info.
