Just try to keep the rev's up while downshifting.

That's interesting, Bill. In looking at those diameters, however, the fronts are smaller than stock diam. and the rears are larger. So that might exaggerate the difference possibly even beyond the actual numbers. Just a supposition.

You should be able to have someone tune the computer to disengage your Engine Drag Control all together. That should be all you need to do to fix the problem. Haven't seen anyone do it but in theory it should be possible.
