Automatic 2-1 rough downshifting

Sebz · 11-09-2010, 12:38 AM

I used to owe a 350z automatic with manual option, and that was the best I have owned so far. I currently own a 370z with similar transmission and I have experienced rough shifting when upshifting or downshifting. Though I don't usually shift down to 2 or 1. This is quite disappointing since I love nissan products. I believe that they should have limited their gears to 6 not 7 for automatics, but I can see why at this time they didn't - lower rpm while cruising.

Mine does that too only in M mode. Had chance to took my car to the dealer last year, but the tech told me not to using M mode...

Now I have about 24000 miles on it but the jerk is still there but not that bad though. Maybe Im getting used to.

The tech's "solution" was to tell you to not use manual mode?

You shoulda' told the tech to
