Default Replace plugs and wires lots of hesitation

Had a shop replace the plugs and wires. Used platinum plugs as suggested here. Alot of hesitation, bucking and banging. These guys race cars locally and I saw how they drove other peoples car so Im wondering if they beat mine too .. its already fragile.

Sounds like a slam in the front .. transmission ? I experienced this slam before the wire and plug change but only once or twice. There is a small leak on a transmission line, but the oil doesnt smell or look burnt, nor is it bubbly. Clear and red.

Suggestions or comments please.
Its a 1996 Sebring Convertible jx 2.5l and according to the original Chrysler build list ..

DGB - All 4-Speed Automatic Transmissions
DGLS - 4-Speed Automatic Transmission
DHAS - Lock-Up Torque Converter
DLCS - 2.6 Overall Top Gear Ratio
EAAC - All Engines
EEB - 2.5L V6 SOHC 24V SMPI Engine
NHBS - Auxiliary Transmission Oil Cooler
NHMP - Speed Control
0BYA - PCN 612345678A 0BY
0CMA - CN 612345678J 0CM

I did feel the bang once or twice before the plugs were replaced. But nothing like whats going on now. I checked the fluid and it look like the level is ok and the color and smell is ok.

The bang was a broken motor mount / engine support.

Now I have to replace the tranny source line to the radiator. Split and pissing oil all over my nice newly sealed driveway.
