since I'm always in sport mode.
A few miles after leaving my house, the road dips down then rises back up. If I'm still doing 60 mph by the time that I'm back up to the top of hill, everything is fine. If I've allowed it to drop to around 50 mph (sorry, can't remember rpm), my 5A stays in overdrive when it should drop to 4th, and some lugging occurs. So, I keep it above 60 (or downshift).
I'll have to see if it only does it when cold.
It's really the only time that the 5A disapoints me. It is an excellent transmission and a great fit for this engine.
My 30k service is within next month, I'll have to see if a software fix is available.
