ABS catches when downshifting sometimes
Been noticing for a while, but never really thought it was that big of a deal, that my ABS sometimes catches when slowing down from a sudden, hard stop. Basically it happens when shifting down in sport shift from 3rd to 2nd and sometimes from 2nd to 1st. Should I even be manually shifting down if coming to that hard of a stop? Will it normally catch your ABS or is something up with my brakes?

I'm doing, let's say, 45 in 3rd gear (remember, 5AT), traffic comes to a fast slow down to 0. As I'm hitting the brakes, I'm also downshifting in to 2nd (which would be at about 25-30). When I downshift from 3rd to 2nd, while under heavy braking, the ABS pump kicks in in the time it takes the tranny to shift from 3rd to 2nd. It lasts about 1 second. Sometimes it does the same thing between 2nd and 1st under heavy braking. But it's mostly while the tranny is shifting from 3rd to 2nd while under heavy braking.

Just had to rebuild my transmission due to utilizing the sport shift in my 5AT. My advice would be stop using that crap before you end up having to spend a lot of money... I know it's dificult to keep yourself from beating on an automatic tranny but, they are really not made for that kind of abuse.

The only reason I downshift while breaking is because that's how I learned to drive sticks. Now, I know I don't have a 6mt, which is really beside the point, but it still serves it's purpose. I will, however, stop downshifting when coming to a hard stop, as I don't want to have to replace the tranny. I will admit my ignorance on this, but like I said, it's just how I learned to drive. Thanks to those who weren't total dicks, lol

Haha a total dick? I'm not the one pretending to be a bad ***, kicking my rpms up really fast and high to downshift for a quick stop. Even driving my 6mt I kick it into neutral and use the part of the car made to slow down the car in that situation, the brakes. Don't be pissed at me because you learned to drive stick incorrectly and somehow learned to drive an automatic incorrectly as well. We are all trying to save you money and time down the road so if anyone is being a dick it is you, you ungrateful dick.

You're right, most people down shift their automatics when stopping for the additional braking power?
