I have a 1997 honda accord with an automatic transmission and just had the rear main seal replaced. While the transmission was out the axle seals were replaced on it (transmission) as well as the main line (not the one by the radiator. That one has been previously replaced). Now when I drive my car and i take my foot off the gas and the car starts slowing, there is a jerking when the transmission downshifts. Also there is a very small leak (drops) of transmission fluid on the driveway. Please help, what could this be?

 

sounds like your front pump seal. maybe your torque converter is bent?

it sounds like the fluid is low. and for the leak it could be from anywhere. doubt the converter is "bent" don't know how you could bend a converter unless you pryed on it taking transmission out. even then it would be hard to bend it. but when the fins in the converter lay down it will feel like its not disengaging when you come to a stop like if it where a 5speed you didnt push in the clutch at a stop..

 

I had this issue on a friends Accord. When he got it back from the Trans shop, they told him his Torque converter was bent (probably due to shifting into drive too hard to cherp the tires) is what they told him, but he had just got the car so don't know if that was the cause ? Maybe you could it ?
