Default Auto Shifting

So when i get in my car for the first time of the day (cold engine) and is in manual mode it will automatically switch gears, usually from 2nd to 3rd. FOr example, if im going over a speed bump in 2nd and the rpm's drop almost near idle, then hit the gas come out of the speed bump thats when it'll automatically change, or if im rolling thru a stop sign. It only does it with a cold engine.

has anyone else experienced this?

Does it do it after letting the car warm up? "According to the manual" (ive never read it haha) you are suppose to let the car warm up until the oil meter starts reading..which can take a couple minutes.

If your rpm isnt high enough for the speed & if you are in too high of a gear to keep the engine from bogging and bucking, auto downshift can happen in normal sst mode. It usually happens around 1k rpm in normal mode. It is normal operation.

Mine doesnt do that but maybe because i make sure my RPM's are high enough so the TSST doesnt take over shifting, Like what MTZL described above.
