Downshift speed...
When driving at, say, 55 or 60, if I floor it to pass, there is often a delay between the first shift down, and the second (or third)
Like the car isn't sure it wants to drop that extra gear yet.
Its not slipping, the fluid is new, and its Redline, and my pressure switches have been replaced. And ideas? Could it be the TPS?

Mine does this as well. Unfortunately, the trans won't do a double downshift, only one at a time. What I have noticed is if I drive it pretty easy for a long time where when I get on the gas, only one downshift is usually required it learns this. If I floor it after driving it easy all the time it downshifts one gear and after a second, another gear. If I drive it aggressive all the time it there is much less delay. So while I'm pretty sure the trans is limited to a single downshift at a time, I think it can be sped up by resetting the ECU or driving aggressively all the time.

I thought traditional (torque converter) automatics only shift one gear at a time,, so it'd be 5-4-3 so delay???
I don't recommend this, but I floor the gas a split second early.
Say, I wanna pass this car,,,,,, NOW!
then I'd step on it at the second last comma lol..
NOT RECOMMENDED,, but I do it and it only takes a few tries to get the timing dead on.

I've also found that it is a lot easier to pass someone when you're already doing 65 mph. I use the manual every now and then, but usually I can just coast pass someone without having to floor it.
