    Default Transmission not down shifting

    So if i put my trucknin drive it will sometimes start off in 1st then shift out at a higher then normal rom into 2nd....rest ofvthe gear shifts are normal. When slowing down everything down shifts normal except it will not kick down into first. Butbi can manually put it into first.

    Dunno about everyone else but mine doesn’t downshift while decelerating to a stop either, never has. Starts off in first as normal....I know my 2014 RAM and 2016 JEEP SRT both have 8 speed trans and you can feel them downshift while slowing down to a stop, eight gears each though and newer tech.

    I'll confirm the same functions as Wiggsy. I don't recall mine downshifting as I come to a stop. But, the 3600 stall convertor probably softens that downshift if it is doing it.

    Any update on this? Mine won't downshift also while decelerating.

    I would say no, it doesn't downshift when stopping. It will if you pull it down manually, but I have read that's not good on the trans.
