trans problem?

[GnFnRs]

when my trans is cold it shifts really hard..and i have a stop light 1.4 from my house and every morning it catches me on red, and when i go to stop i can feel it down shift kinda hard. almost like the tow/haul mode ison but it's not. is this normal or do i have a problem?

the hard down shift is the same thing my expedition started doing about 2 months before i lost 2nd gear totally. so it's got me nervous.

thanks for any info

i would start by changing my filter and oil you would be amazed how much that will do

yea thats my 1st move..one daythis week..i did it in my expedition..but itlost 2nd gear..i drove it 9000 miles with no 2nd..was funny.. then it lost reverse and 3rd and 4th... i hope thats not whats about to happen here

u should change the trans external filter every 15,000 miles i dont think alot do though
but u might want to try that
