Usually, it’s the front strut with a broken spring on it that make that pop noise when you are turning.

If from the rear, you need to check on the rear suspension.
The pop noise could also come from the exhaust.

4 speeds automatic trans: 41TE

This animation show how each gear is shifted:

I will remove the body valve to clean it up, and check to see if something has wore out or broken in there. Hopefully I don’t have to drop the trans, because I’m no expert at this.

Let me know if you have more suggestions for me.
It has something to do with the trans downshifted to 2nd gear.
If I stepped on the gas petal right away, the car will gain some speed and shift hard into 3rd.

Thanks Eric, and everyone else for your helps.

[quote=”Wrench Turner” post=33617]One possibility that comes to mind could be a stuck accumulator in your shift circuit. The accumulator is designed to absorb the shock of hydraulic applications.[/quote]

Thank you.
I haven’t fully understood how automatic transmission works, but I will take a look into that.
If the problem is fixed. I will let everyone know.

2005 Dodge Neon SE
2.0 DOHC 16-valve
4 speeds automatic
80,000 miles on it

I have replaced the engine mount, upper torque strut, and lower torque strut.
Shifting has improved a little bit, but the problem is still there.

Thank you
