Real Clunky Downshifts

Hi guys,
My thunderbirds been acting up a bit. As the title says, the car kinda surges repeatedly sometimes on downshifts. Granted the car was cold when it occured. And the car also has a Performance automatic shift kit in it. Im just praying that the harder shifts havent screwed something up inside.

Any info helps!
