Shifting - 5/9/2008 1:08:07 PM    macgawd   Posts: 28 Joined: 2/26/2008 Status: offline Is it me, or does the R/T automatic tranny not downshift properly, or do I just not know anything about automatic transmissions? For example, if I accelerate from a stop with the transmission in D, it doesn't have the same acceleration and torque as it does if I use the autostick from 1st gear. Is this right? Am I an idiot?
