Default Down Shifting

I have noticed that my SC430 does not seem to down shift appropriately. I notice it when I park the car at work. I park in an underground parking garage and I can hear the echo of the car's engine against the walls. WhiIe I am coasting, if I hit the gas a bit the engine revs but the gears don't seam to engage for a second or two. Is this normal?

Hmmm. Haven't felt that on mine. Assuming you're not in Snow Mode. I'd reset the ECU.

not sure thats normal or not, but I do feel SC430's transmission works slower in shifting gears when compare to other cars like LS430.
