RE: Sport A/T

When coming to a complete stop at a light, do you guys get a final nudge before it stops? Feels like the transmission is downshifting back to first gear? Is this normal and will it go away? I noticed this on my friend's 1997 Eclipse A/T as well. Or is it the drum brakes doing it? It just feels weird because sometimes I end up braking to a complete halt when I'm trying to smoothly roll to a red light. Its annoying and I hope it goes away!

 

perhaps your brakes need to be adjusted?

 

It just sounds like your A/T downshifting, as you slow to a stop. At the top of the lower gear, you're going to get some slight engine braking, which is perfectly normal.
