My car downshifts too soon....
OK, now when I'm braking and coming to a stop, when I get down to about 10 or 15 mph the car seems to downshift (into 1st) early so the car jerks a little bit. What is causing this jerk? Please tell me it's not my tranny wanting to go out?
Funny thing is, I have a beater that's been doing this for 5 years. Not sure what the cause is, but it's still running.
Anyway, any help??

There are a ton of factors as to why the car would be downshifting at that speed. RPM, the grade of the road, etc. all play a factor as to when the car downshifts. This should not be a cause for alarm. If your tranny starts slipping, then you should get nervous.... but without knowing all of the facts, I'd say that it seems pretty normal.
