While downshifting a 7AT might sound cool, it seems to me to be kind of hazardous to the engine. Pick the wrong one and engine goes boom.

I'd much rather replace brake pads than transmissions.

Seriously, get someone competent to ride along with a scanner to read what's going on. You might have an electrical issue.
