I've only ever managed to "missshift" from 4th to 2nd because the ECU beats me to 3rd (seems like there is a much more narrow engine speed in decel for 4-3 for whatever reason). That is literally my only beef with the 7AT -- otherwise its pretty much perfecto for me. Anyway, I only ever drop into 1st only on decel to stop at about 5 mph or less, right before coming to a complete stop. I don't recall what actual road speed the manual recommends for 2-1, but it's probably something like that...? I'll look it up. EDIT: I must be misremembering something from a Toyota manual; they don't even indicate that the the ECU will drop a gear automatically if needed, with the exception of first. when stopping. Am I missing something? I'm looking at a 2010 manual. I'd love it if it would only ever drop from 2nd to 1st -- that would eliminate my only gripe.
