Happens couple times a year when car is slightly warmed up and the cars in a higher gear (over 40 mph) and I'm slowing down by coasting (in gear). The tranny stays in the higher gear until almost stopped then tries to downshift into 1st. Clunk. Like it forgets to downshift through the gears.

This is in auto mode, not manual.

It did. But I was going real slow. I usually use the paddles to ds in manual mode to slow down. I just used the brake and yes it went to first at like 8mph.
