Description of the problem	I was attempting to place the vehicle in reverse and the transmission hesitated and then slammed into reverse. As the vehicle has been driven over the past year this problem still occurs and also the vehicle will slam into gear during transmission shifting. There is also a problem on occasion when the transmission downshifts. It slams with such force that it feels like the vehicle was rear ended. I have been to a few repair shops and have gotten different reasons for the problem.
