Unhappy Dreary Downshifts

Hi,

having recently got my car back from my mechanic (headgasket)
I have noticed the car seems to have trouble downshifting, the changes are much more noticeable, stumbly+jerky than before. There is some engine vibration associated with this also.
Acceleration is good, upshifts are good.
??
Any transmission hints or ideas would be great.......

Cheers

Jon.

I wonder if he forgot to re-adjust the "kick-down" linkage?
