i don't think anyone's quite understanding this. the automatic transmission, regardless of whether it's in drive or in manual mode will downshift automatically. if you're in 5th and come to a slow roll for more than a couple seconds, it will automatically switch to second gear. If you stop completely, it will automatically go back to first. Yes you can downshift on your own if you want to but it's still supposed to take care of it for you as needed. In this case it did not. Instead it got stuck at a low rpm in 5th gear and prevented the car from moving any faster. That is not normal behavior for an automatic in manual mode.
