Hey my car has quite a couple of issues. I just bought it. About 180km so far.

Recently coolant box leaked and atf mixed with water. They replaced coolant box and flushed out the atf multiple times.

No issues with gear engagement (engaging drive, reserve etc) and driving at all.

But when at auto mode, and while accelerating , the RPM initially could be at 2.5k and when gear shifts automatically, rpm drops to 1.8k and then picks up again. All this happens in less than a second but u can feel it. Sometimes it is not too noticeable. This 'experience' is something I can live with.

But just wondering if Any cause of concern? Thanks in advance
