[QUOTE="LostM, post: 16183621, member: 151836"] its super rare to skip a gear, but your scenario is unlikely. Im pretty sure i read the same forum questions you did years ago, and let me start by reminding that most of those people, are young kids with a lease paid for by parents, and dont know what they are doing, or what they are trying to explain, BUT: lets call Automatic mode Drive mode, or D, and Manual mode M. in D, it will up and downshift itself at its determined positions based on all the criteria, rpm, throttle gear, mph etc. It wont skip a gear unless it has a reason to, or if its about to downshift, does downshift ( but remember how fast this happens) and you for some reason decided to grab the paddle and downshift it yourself.. so , dd it really skip a gear? no. would it feel like it to one of the above type of people i mentioned, absolutley. M mode, it wont shift up until you tell it too, it will only shift down if you tell it, or the criteria tells it to, aka, no throttle, no rpm, mph dropping and its about to stall. now, if you let it get to that point, and its saving itself by downshifting, and you decide oh sht, i need to downshift, would you again, say it actually skipped a gear, or just felt like it? now, lastly, i dont recall this for M mode, as i had zero reason to ever do it, so ill stick to D mode. Say your cruising along at 50mph its in 6th, some demon ****boi pulls up next to you thinking hes about unleash hell, 3 honks and you decide to just mash the pedal, yeah, its gonna do what transmission do and downshift, 1-2 probably 3 gears before your laughing at the overpriced over promised and underdelivering demon in your rearview [/QUOTE]
