CU2: Braking

[Neilz]

Hey all,

First time i used the manual pedal shifting and great! Really has the grunt...

one thing i noticed is that in manual mode im going at 80km/h and hit the break... whilst applying the break as i near a dead stop the gear shifts down to say 2nd gear and really slows the car more.. actually feel the downshift and the braking power is harder.

with auto is the same... this didn't happen before.. only after i started using the manual mode...

Is this Normal?

It's normal.
The auto box is doing that to avoid engine stall.

ok... just that didn't notice the harder braking till after i started using manual mode... Dealer said the same thing :P
