I just had my transmission fluid and filter changed.
And after about 600 miles the transmission started to shift hard at low speeds. Mainly down shifting.Does anyone know why this started to happen?
The fluid levels show full. - Wayne

It could be a few things. First, there are electronic shift solenoids that do the work of the old style hydraulics. When they start going bad, they can cause a delayed or hard shift. There is also a governor that can be the problem. Have any check engine lights come on?

I have no engine light on.
The delayed scenario sounds right.
And the problem is intermittent.
Thanks for your help.
