Another Auto Tranny Question
I'm used to driving a standard so that's why all the automatic questions....
The other thing I've noticed in the short time I've had this car and I don't know how well I'll be able to describe it....The tranny seems to shift a lot while accelerating at slower speeds... specifically, I notice this when I'm in a parking lot slowing down, then accelerating....car seems to down shift as I'm giving it gas after coasting at a slow speed (i.e. 5 or so mph) (maybe downshifts to 2nd gear?), then the trans shifts a few seconds later up to 3rd.
So basically I slow down (to take a turn etc.), give it gas at which time the car downshifts then within a few seconds upshifts. I've actually noticed this in an 02 Tundra as well....
I also notice this crawling in traffic on the highway
Maybe I'm just not use to the way an auto works but does this sound familiar to anyone else?
Thanks
