2003 Chrysler Sebring - Slowing Down Shifting problems

I have a 2003 Chrysler Sebring with 170,000 miles. While in Drive and slowing down, from 40+ mph speeds, when the cars speed gets between 25 and 30mph it will jerk a couple times and occasionally stall. To me it feels like it is having a problem downshifting. Like maybe it trying to go from drive to low missing 2nd/3rd gear. Because of being in to low of a gear momentarily it causes the card to jerk, but then quickly goes into the correct gear. Also, if I manually shift the car, when going into 3rd or drive I feel it click into position, but going into low it does not click. Dont know if this is related or just another issue. If I am driving in 3rd gear, not drive, I dont really feel the problem (it may be there but is ever so slight). Thank for any help or insight that can be provided.

You'll need access to a high end scan tool to read the transmission module for codes. A generic reader like parts stores use won't do any good. It may be worth your while to swing into a transmission shop for a diagnosis as they have the scanner and see these all the time.They'd know for sure whats happenning with this.

I have the same issues. It came on suddenly. I have been told that it may have to do with a sensor associated with the fuel intake system. I hesitate to go to the transmission shop as that usually results in a new transmission...
