Stop trying to be all fast and furious and just drive the car.

I've never tried the multi-click downshift. I will have to check it out once it stops raining here.

Should be more like: click, click, click, wa..GO!. You may have to play with the timing of stomping on the throttle. I suspect the mechanism in play here (and in a lot of situations with our trans where people report different results) is that the gas pedal (well, engine speed? torque convertor loading?) indirectly affects line pressure and shift speed. I've gotten into a groove where I know when to stomp the pedal, but I'd imagine there could be pretty big variance if you do it too early or too late.
