The air intake tubes? O.o
Just for future reference, the way these transmissions work when you remove your foot from the throttle, they act like a manual and stay in the gear you were in and slow you down. That is totally normal operation.

Have no idea how transmission on these cars work but kicks were ugly after removing foot from the throttle, after fixing air tubes in place kicks not present anymore, normal slowing down and hard kicks are two different things

On "E" mode (and depending on your learned driving habits) it happens even down to 1600rpm that the gearbox would upshift when you remove your foot from the throttle. On "S" mode it keeps the gear though.
Those are my finidngs in the CL with the same gearbox/TCU

After reading this thread I'm a little confused how a gap in your intake tube could cause a downshift clunk or whatever it is
My goofy intake tubes are a little loose but could someone confirm that this could cause a transmission problem?
Thanks
