I feel my tranny downshifts when is not really needed. I would like to ask others with automatic car and see if they have similar performance.
Example 1. Cruising at 55 MPH & 2500 RPM, if I slowly press the pedal for passing, the car will always shift down, and the engine will rev up to 3500 RPM.
Example 2. When reducing speed down to 20 MPH, and try to slowly take off again, the car will downshift too.
It doesn't care how slow I try to accelerate, it always downshifts which I feel uncomfortable.
I can easily mess with the tune of the car so I can avoid it to get too lean when accelerating. So I wouldn't need to press the pedal in excess -therefore pulling the transmission cable too much and causing it to shift-
But before I move my current tune or anything else, I wanted to ask if what I have explained here is just normal. Thanks.
