Automatic 2-1 rough downshifting

This is going to be a very subjective thing, which is why we get conflicting reports about people feeling it or not, and whether they feel it only in M

This is going to be a very subjective thing, which is why we get conflicting reports about people feeling it or not, and whether they feel it only in M or only in D, etc. Aside from varying sensitivities in general, it depends greatly on the speed curve you're decelerating at with the brakes (or just coasting down at), and the force you're applying with the brakes at the time of the downshift.

If you get your speed down well in advance of a light (like you're trying to roll and wait for it go green and never stop, for instance), and then get off the brakes around 20mph and just let it coast all the way down from there to the 2-1 shiftpoint on its own in M-mode, you'll feel it for sure.
