Pretty sure you can engine brake in an automatic (planetary gears, torque converter) |
Sure, theoretically if you use tiptronic you could downshift to a lower gear and hold it. But my point was under normal, every day conditions, you do not experience engine braking with a traditional automatic, but do with both DCT and Manual.
