ok so my cars tranny is auto (i know i know) so recently my car has developed a problem. when shifting from first to second, when going slow, it makes that awful cachunk noise and occasionaly like jerks but not hard. it used to happen once in a blue moon, but since ive gotten my tranny flushed it happens like all the time. this is what happens literally, give it some gas but then let off either a lil or all the way shift, cachunk keep driving. but if im goin fast it shifts no problem.... anyone know whats wrong? other then that thought it drives and shifts perfectly and fluidly. HELP!!!!!
 
Could be one of your clutch packs, either way it doesn't sound too promising. Internet diagnoses are hard to be accurate with.
Oh and the trans acting more weird after the flush is probably because the old trans fluid was acting like a bandaid maintaining a thicker viscosity and thus keeping the clutches from burning all the time.
