7 speed automatic tiptronic downshift
 

hello guys,
I was wondering everytime I tried to downshift like 6 to 3 while using tiptronic, it goes so slow...like 6 to 5 takes a few sec, then like 4 to 3 with a lot of lags..(and slow again)
Everytime I try to pwn some f*****s on the highway, I can't because of this. It downshifts so slow that by the time it gets to 3rd gear, they are already gone..:shakes head:
This is time when I'm starting to hate my automatic transmission...
I also have Altima 2.5 and when I press the gas all the way down, it has that click thing automatically downshifts like 6 to 3 or 2 whatever depends on the speed. Does 370z have that? I remember when I tried it, it didn't have it.
maybe I'm going to trade in for manual transmission later on..

the 7AT is really laggy. I get the same thing sometimes when I try to downshift. Idk whats the problem but I think its pretty normal

I think its because the car adjusts to how you're driving. I haven't ever tried rapid downshifts in succession, but I do notice a lag when I'm driving in slow highway traffic and then step on it. When I'm on a spirited driving run though, there doesn't seem to be any or much lag.

Just put in on D and it will downshift from 6th to 3rd without lag

^^^ or get a manual.

Mine does this too. It has to hit each gear on the way down

X2:driving:

This is exactly what I was going to say. I have it happen all the time on the highway, but on the track I've never had any delay's in downshifting, they all happen instantaneously.

I think it does that to improve gas mileage or something.

Maybe. Wish it could be removed with a tune.

damn. I'm happy that I'm not the only one!
yep, this is so bugging me out...
only reason I got auto was that traffic here is bad and a lot of hills and my dad won't let me buy it LOL
anyway, I never complained my automatic because it's still Z!!! however...now I am..
cuz of this slow downshift...T^T

Mine downshifts fine. There is more lag than a solid 6MT driver would have, but it's not debilitating if you're just doing a quick downshift to pass. Maybe you're clicking through each gear one by one and waiting for the shifts? You can multi-click and it works as expected. For example, you can be cruising in 7th and do a rapid triple-click of the downshift paddle as you stomp the gas and it will jump straight down to 4th.

I should add: alternatively, if you don't know your speed ranges well enough to know what destination gear you really want for a downshift at the given speed, your other alternative is to simply flip the stick over to "D" and floor the gas, and it will downshift to the correct gear (lowest available at this mph) on its own. And then you can immediately flip back to M-mode and control it from there as well.

+1 on the quick multi click. No problems here

Stop trying to be all fast and furious and just drive the car.
