Trans qs....
So ive noticed that when using the "paddles" on the steering wheel, the trans doesnt shift when i want it to. Ive noticed that its more of a shift limiter in the sense that even if i do t downshift, it still will, it just wont shift past whatever gear i have selected. Is there any way to actually make it shift when i want it to, or am i just going to have to deal with it?

You must read the owners manual 10 times... to conclude these things dont do much.
Paddle shifters on a 5000lb minivan? The "cool" thing that made husbands buy the car for their soccer mom wives.
Engine braking with transmission downshifts? Dunno. cheaper to replace brakes than a transmission.
