Well no there wasn't any signs that improper shifting occurred based off the tach reading and the sound of the engine was normal, BUT the effect of engine breaking was what I thought I felt. Like how someone would downshift to slow a car down if the brakes went out. This "drag" feeling just felt odd, idk if it's normal and I don't understand how M cars feel or a BMW. I know when I rented a nissan maxima for a day during acceleration the car's transmission had a engine braking sound/strain but I was told is normal for their transmissions.  |
Do you know how to drive a traditional manual transmission? If you've never driven anything that didn't have a torque converter engine braking could be a new sensation to you. If that's the case, it's perfectly normal (and a feature!).
