I have to be honest with ya... I'm at a loss then.

When you say under load, I presume you mean the force generated just by the down shift.

I would check the motor mounts (a.k.a roll resistors), located under each side of the engine and see if they are cracked or worn. This can cause the engine to sag and actually rest on the subframe.

See, I am still looking at this more like a thud, then a miss. So I think I still might be a little off base. Then again, I have heard of shifting problems caused by these roll resistors. If they both are bad, they can actually cause the engine and tranny to flex in relation to each other. Sort of like this... \/ The first mark being the engine and the second being the tranny. The undue force on the crank and torque convertor can cause all sorts of weird things.

Just a few thoughts. But honestly, I am out of ideas without actually driving the car. Maybe someone else here has had this problem or heard of it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
