When the car switches Gears?

I have about 550 miles on my 2010 G and I just noticed when I'm on the highway in DS doing about 55 in traffic and 2000 to 2500rpm and take my foot off the accelerator transmission appears to downshift and engine rev's to 4 grand????????????? If I can't accelerate it drops down. Is that part of rev matching and normal?? Hasn't happened in D.

I have a 2010 X and I have the same issues. There is a jerk especially when switching from 1st to 2nd gear going slow. When driving the car hard the tranny performs great - a real pleasure. In addition, If I'm cruising in "D", and suddenly decide to push hard on the throttle, it takes a huge pause before actually downshifting and pushing forward. This is a huge downside and prevents me from making quick passes when needed. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It sure does on mine. I have gotten into the habit of dropping the car into DS any time I think I am going to need/want that response from the car. Putting the car in DS is like driving a a different car from when it is in D.

Sometimes a person could want more than 3-4k, therefore requiring a quick downshift.....something this tranny seems to have problems with frequently.

i mean the car is pretty damn quick expeically on the highways when you really get to open it up. whats a car out there that gets more than 3-4K in RPMs when you need to pass someone?

Yes, the car is a rocket. I like how it takes off from standstill while shifting manually. So I have any other complaints with the tranny except for my original one. Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong. When I cruised on the highway in D mode and needed instant power, I dropped it in DS mode, waited a few seconds and pushed on the throttle. Am I supposed to wait longer for the DS mode to "sink in" before pushing it, so that I don't experience the pause?
