Why do I get a thud when I downshift?

That joint is dry as a bone and amplifies the the aggressive shifting pattern that is “normal” for the 8 speeds. If you pay attention you’ll notice the “thud” happens most after a hard braking or coming to a stop when the drivetrain is loaded in the opposite direction. When you take off again to accelerate is when you typically feel it.

Is it possible to downshift without double clutch?

Nowadays, you can downshift all you like without double clutching, although the shift isn’t going to be all that smooth and the RPM will rev up. Still, here are two reasons why you’d want to double clutch downshift on your manual transmission car:

What happens when downshift solenoid does not work?

If the downshift solenoid fails or has an issue, the vehicle may experience late shifting when slowing down. The transmission may stay engaged in a higher gear for an extended period of time when it should be downshifting. This will cause the engine to over rev, and may put additional unnecessary strain on the engine and transmission.

Why does my Dodge Ram have a jerky downshift?

Valve bodies won’t fix it, nor will software updates. There is something amiss internally, either a leak or partially plugged gantry. The transmission adapts by increasing pressure, which makes for rough shifts during some gear changes. Some of us suggest a lot of test driving before buying used, don’t let them warm it up.
