Thread: 2006 GXP downshift issue

Sorry should've worded it better, when slowing down from about 25 I'm getting a shudder that doesn't seem normal and it feels like the trans is fighting the brakes to stop. RPM drops low to about 5 or maybe 600 (which might be normal for these I'm not entirely sure) while stopping and the downshift feels very sluggish and delayed not a very smooth transition,feels like I have to put my foot into the brakes much more than I should have to. Scanned it and it came back with no dtc's but it has two bad abs sensors and a stability code but nothing from the trans. I did notice that under a wot pull that I'll get a clunk after letting off that sounds like a motor or trans mount that may also be the culprit under braking.
