1987 Dodge Diplomat
Transmission problem
1987 Dodge Diplomat V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 188000 miles
When Comming To A Stop At A Stop Light Or A Stop Sign,
The Engine Shudders And Almost Stalls, And
Then Regains Normal Idle R.P.M.
It Seems To Me That The Transmission Has A Delayed Down Shift Into First Gear.
How Can I Repair This Proplem ?
I Have A 1987 Dodge Diplomat 318 Engine
4 Speed Automatic 904 trans
I'm Not Sure If I Have A Lockup Torque Converter.
Thank You !!!! Peter Montgomery

this may be a torque converter problem. But take it to a trans guy nd have him look at it. It will be easier to diagnose there.
