2002 4.6 hard "downshift" when coming to a stop. Are there sleeves like the 6sp?

Hey everyone! Recently did a fluid and filter change on my 2002 4.6is with the ZF 5spd. Fluid looked fine, dirty as expected, and replaced with the full ZF kit and Lifeguard 5 fluid. Trans as been working great.

Today as I was coming to a stop, I noticed that it was having a pretty hard downshift as I stopped. Shifting otherwise seems fine. It went away and won't happen if I come to a stop slowly.

On my cars with the ZF 6pd, this is a classic Mechatronic Sleeve problem which was fixed pretty easily. However, on REALOEM I don't see the equivalent parts, so I'm wondering if there is hard downshift fix for the 5spd similar to the 6spd.

Thanks all!
