eh if you have to down shift you arent driving fast enough. hahahahaSeptember 14, 2005
^exactly^ just make keep your speed up enough to keep your rpm's up and you'll have no problem. believe me, the hills in WV can get big too! i've found that my mom's minivan doesn't even need to if you're runnin about 80, and that's sayin sumthin!January 3, 2006
when I wanna pass someone on the highway I floor it and it downshifts to 3rd sometimes 2nd if I'm going 65. I guess I'm just fortunate to have a functional kick down lol.

Pretty sure when you tap your brakes it unlocks the torque converter clutch, which let`s your rpm come up a bit. To actually get it to down shift ya gotta stand on itStand on it!
