7AT - First Gear Lag

NickTurnon

I appreciate the responses guys, but never did I state that I was downshifting into 1st gear every time.

I also never said I was ONLY using engine braking as means of stopping. I meant that I use it in addition to the brakes to help the car slow down at a reasonable and fluent rate.

This happens to me when on the freeway. In "D" and wanting to get around someone going slower. I downshift but it goes from 7 to 5 or 7 to 4 -

Also, back to the original question, I think I am now more cautions since lowering the car and when pulling to my work the curb is at a huge slant. Of course I take it at an angle, but all I am asking is why the car seems to lag & rev but not move when I try and accelerate back up the slope
