mine does a good down shift while breaking from hyw speeds, and put the tow/haul on, and it really starts grabbing downshifts when ever it gets a chance

Mine had an aweful downshift at 35mph after I got the trans fluid replaced. Turns out the shop cheated me 2 quarts of fluid. Topped it off, had a word with the owner and all was well. Id do a reset and check the fluid.
