Gearbox skips 3rd on downshift?
Just curious, when the car is slowing down, is it normal for the car to skip the 3rd when the car is slowing down or under braking? Ie. 6->5->4->2->1.
I begain to notice it since I normally keep the display the Gear Position but did not bother to pay attention until recent.
If I were to quick tap on the gas when it's slowing down to 4, it then it goes into 3, as it thinks I'm going to accelerate.

I think it will differ from car to car as the ECU learns your driving style and will chose the gearing appropriate to it.
If you've ever driven a STD trans vehicle for an extended amount of time, you'll find yourself skipping gears when both up and down-shifting.
