My 2005 Jetta is not shifting smoothly between the lower gears and makes a kind of clunking sound from 3rd-2nd. Drives very nice on freeway but it is very noticible when stopping and going frequently. When I took it in to the shop they had me replace the battery. That did nothing to fix the problem.

05 Chrysler pacifica is a 4 speed automatic, next time buy a car with a 5 speed automatic

The symptoms & mileage is enough to tell
you it is time for a rebuild
Being a former police vehicle ,I would have
rebuilt the trans as soon as I got it,working okey
or not.
Forget advice that is typical unless you understand
the context the word was using in.

Time for a complete rebuild of trans

Any slipping & you continue to drive it,
you ruin it,your done

sounds like the symptom of a bad clutch, might need adjustment at local repair service.

bad over drive module...have car taken to repair center

The gearbox normally shifts like this in "D":

1st gear to 2nd gear

2nd gear to 3rd gear

3rd gear to OverDrive

If you have the selector in "2", it will not make the final 2 shifts. "2" is nice for descending very steepo hills slowly, and also is nice to use coming down hills when it is icy/snowy, the engine will slow down in "2", and you will not have to depress the brake pedal.

sounds like it may be either a converter problem or u got some bad clutches in third in the case you need to go to a tranny shop.

you may have a u-joint with too much play

What kind of noise is it?
