Rough Downshifts

I get these occasionally, even in D mode. It seems to be the 2-1 downshift. It's also worse when the engine is cold. Every time I leave my office it does that weird downshift when I stop at the garage gate. After it warms up it rarely does it. It doesn't bother me too much, but it does ruin the experience of an otherwise very smooth tranny.

I enabled the gear indicator while in D or S, and the rough downshift is actually the 4-3 shift. I can easily repeat the downshift scenario, causing the rough 4-3 every time, but never 3-2, and as I said earlier the 2-1 downshift only occurs after coming to a complete stop in either D or S mode.

Interesting.
How do you reproduce the rough downshift? I'd like to try the same on mine and see what it does. I'll pay closer attention to the gear downshift when I leave work today.

I have experienced this as well. I am not sure it is cold however. It is only one time every now and then. So I decided not to worry about it. If you guys have a solution then I am all for it.

Sorry for resurrecting an ancient thread, but I just picked up the car from dealership today, as I had similar issues.
They identified the TSB as 2030007/5. They did a clutch re-adaptation. Seems to run better now, if a bit stiff as the car is likely getting used to driving style.

1. Going downhill and you let off the gas - the car can't decide whether you want to maintain speed or slow down. It will eventually downshift and it will be rough.
2. Going downhill in stop and go traffic, the car starts in D1, rolling forward without gas and try to shift into D2 and that will be rough too.
To avoid those moments, I use the padel shifter on those occasions.
