I still agree with the transmission not down shifting. I had a Dodge, I know a different animal, that would do the same thing. It was not down shifting when coming to a stop. My 1998 F-150 is a little slow in downshifting when coming to a stop. I can feel it shuttering a little when slowing down.

Ok, I'm sorry for the stupid question I'm about to ask but I want to rule EVERYTHING out lol can coolant fall into your transmission fluid? Cuz I checked my fluid and I got an odd smell when I took the dipstick out. It smells humid I guess, like when after it rains, and it's pretty strong
Trans fluid on the stick should always be like a bright pinkish red.. Period. Should smell like trans fluid, NEVER be hot enough to burn your fingers.
Always check your trans fluid after a long drive. Best way to get accurate reading.
After a long drive, put it park then cycle thru the gears w/foot on the brake slowly pausing in each one for 2 seconds. Down to 1rst then back up to park.
With the vehicle still running, check your trans fluid. Add or drain if necessary.

At least he was honest and smart enough to ask the questions. I don't think I would have had the courage to ask that

A Stuck Torque converter Solinoid will stall your engine, its the solinoid that locks your torque converter in overdrive, when you apply the brake that is when it suppose to unlock the converter. there is usually only a couple causes, electrical intergrity, dirty fluid, or one that most overlook is a properly functioning brake light switch, quick stops don't allow enough time for it to "unlock" if its sticking or failing. seen a few at the dealerships
