2001 626 AT Transmission Issue, 4 cyl eng

[Ternigh]

Hey all!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and help if you can.

I just bought a used 2001 626 with AT Tranny and 4cyl eng about a month ago and it was doing fine until yesterday at a stop light when I pressed the accelerator to go, it acted like it was in nuetral for a second then final "popped" into gear and took off. I paid it little attention thinking it was probably no big deal since it didn't again...

Until today, it stopped shifting down anymore at all. When I come to a stop light, I feel no downshifting at all, and then when trying to move forward it revs but goes EXTREMELY slow, and then when it finally starts to pick up speed (around 5-10 mph) it acts seemingly normal, shifting up each gear as its supposed to...only to then again not shift down at the next stop, and so on.

I just parked it in the driveway, reverse works fine. The fluid level is normal, and is clean. I already read in here to replace the filter helps, but just wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue and what it was.

Thanks!

This is odd for my '02 2.0 auto 626 does very similar things. I am not sure about the not downshifting thing but sometimes it does not really accelerate until 5-10 mph. I have not found a solution to this yet.
