Default Double shift

The other night on my way home from work, I was exiting one highway and entering another. As I was coming to the end of the exit ramp from the first highway, I went to downshift and accidentally hit the left paddle (-) shifter two times in quick succession, as if one were double-clicking a mouse. I was surprised when transmission very quickly shifted from fifth into fourth into third. The two shifts appeared to occur in no more than a second's time.

I haven't tried to duplicate this because I don't want to put any undue wear on the transmission. But I thought that it was pretty cool that the transmission could do this.

My manual tip (no paddles) has done this on all my Audis since 2001. Happens so long as the downshift revs are under redline.
