RPM drops twice after shifting to 3nd gear at ~2500 RPM
I'm not sure if it's a real issue, or just my lack of knowledge, but here goes.
I have an AT (...yeah I know), but like to drive it in "M" mode because I like to pretend I have an MT (lol, j/k). Also I like to shift gears as early and quickly as possible (when the conditions permit) in order to save some gas on my daily commute. Anyways, I noticed that when I shift from 2nd to 3rd gear at around 2.5K RPM, the RPM drops twice. Like it shifts from 2nd gear to a nonexisting 2 1/2 gear, and then to 3rd gear. This does not happen when I shift at around 3K RPM (RPM just drops once like normal). Easy solution would be to stop driving like a grandpa and shift at at higher RPM, but I was just wondering if this is normal operation. If so, why is it necessary? Thanks! |

It's your lack of knowledge as you put it. The transmission shifts and then the torque converter locks-up. It's not shifting twice.

I have the same thing in 4th in my AT. Its normal from what i understand. It happens to me based on throttle input i think.
