Sorry I didn't answer this in previous post - I do sometimes get the 'slam-dunk' downshift, but not always.
Also get some 'hunting' between ratios during steady speed city driving (approx. 35 mph).
But I seem to remember these were common complaints about the 4.8is, in some of first published road-test articles on these cars back in '03 & '04.
