Default Re: A/T autostick shifting question

Mine does that too (eventually upshift) but I'll have to check if the indicator shows the higher gear. Generally, the autostick feature is ok, but it's definitely same as a manual gear box. I find downshifting, particularly under breaking deceleration, it will jump gears (say from 4th to 2nd) when I really wanted third.

C'est la vie, I guess I shoulda bought a 6 speed if I wanted that much control.
