However what I was trying to say was; as you are slowing down when you get to slow for the current gear the transmission will downshift before letting the engine get below a certain rpm (about 800rpm or so)

For example; if I'm stopping for a stop light or stop sign and I'm in 7th gear, the tranmission will downshift automatically (even in S mode) prior to letting the rpms get too low in 7th gear. When doing so, it will typically actually skip a few gears depending on how fast you are slowing the car. It might go from 7 to 4 as you're slowing.
That's the way I should've said it in my previous post, but I did not know how to explain it. LOL!

I'm really impressed by the DCT. I should've test drove one before I got the 6-speed.
