None of my previous (non Saab) auto boxes have done that - they usually almost freewheel with no engine breaking, and select the appropriate gear when you accelerate, -- Regards, Danny http://www.gaggia-espresso.com (a purely hobby site) http://www.dannyscoffee.com (UK advert for my mobile espresso service) swap Z for above characters in email address to reply
