When i am going 40mph on a city street and theres someone riding my butt, my brakes will give me wiplash, so i generally engine brake on most of my stopping. Also, who doesnt do that? You're telling me no one else downshifts to help them slow down?

Anyways, fluids were all done around 8k ago. But I will look into trans fluid & torque converter

I've had pretty experienced drivers/mechanics tell me that it's way cheaper and safer (for the engine) to replace brake pads from overuse than trying to figure out, possibly expensive, transmission issues.
