Whenever i am in sport mode should i let the car downshift by itself or am i better doing it myself never could decide. Another big thing about it is it bad to push it over in sport mode whiling driving could it dang the trans.

i switch mine into manual mode while driving and havent had a problem yet. typically the only time i do this is on the drive to work if i need to pass anyone. that is the only time i the actual automatic. i use the manual mode 98% of the time.

i downshift when coming to a stop but i let it do it itself when dropping from 2nd to 1st.

Automatic tranny speak.

It's like a foreign language.

kenchan

do you AT guys like sushi?

nepali

Why would you be in Sport mode if you let the car decide when/how to downshift? It defeats the purpose, no?

Nom nom?



Just having some fun, I have nothing against AT cars.

And I guess to be on topic and give a reply to the OP, and agree with nepali, why would you be in sport mode and let it auto downshift? It does defeat the purpose of the sport mode really.

If I had the 7AT I'd always downshift on my own in sport mode. If I wanted to drive lazily I'd set it in normal AT mode and try to relax (would be nice in rush hour).

'cos us MT guys like sushi.

i am in manual mode literally 98% of my driving time. even in traffic or on the highway. it's so fun but i do have to option to just relax as you said.

+1 and have a sense of humor.

If I'm in manual mode, I'll only downshift to 3rd. The lower ones are too much jerk for the tranny imo. Plus it's hard to judge the "correct" rpms to shift at since they're so short.






Nope.
